Talons for sure. if I'm chasing a fish around the boat I don't want to have to reach out 4 feet to try and swing it around the power pole. the talon is straight down and I'm usually able to keep fish clear of the talon. when anchored in shallow weeds the power poles can get covered in weeds and need to be cleaned off, not an issue with talons. talons are quieter and deploy faster. talons have tilt brackets which make getting in the garage a non issue. but biggest thing for me is the talon is self contained. the power pole you have to mount an external pump which if you run two poles can take up quite a bit of room in an already crowded compartment. nothing wrong with powerepoles plenty of guys love them but for me its an easy decision
