Just go with the Pocket Wizards, that's what I did and I'm glad.

1) They are standard, everyone uses them and if I have to supplement my lights with another brand, PW will still work. When I travel to a studio and use their lights, PWs work. As has been said, they just WORK.

2) My Sekonic meter, which I love as much as I love life itself, has a built in PW transmitter so I can fire my strobes wirelessly when metering. For me, this is the best part.

3) After playing with it at B&H, the remote power control seemed like a pain in the ass. I would certainly buy a dedicated remote if Hensel were to offer it, but the system they have now was not for me.

If you can't tell, I'm very happy with the PWs and the money saved buys another light.
