Jeti for me hands down... still flying my original DS-16, as I see no need to update.
I used to fly Futaba until I witnessed multiple Jet crashes due to Futaba Gimbal issues, i.e. potentiometer failures, I lost two and a buddy of mine lost two.
When I saw the First Jeti being demoed at Joe Nall many years ago and held the radio I was hooked.
The feature that really sold me was the fact that they used magnetic hall sensors for the gimbals, no more potentiometer failures!
Going from Futaba programming to Jeti was a bit of a small learning curve, but once you start playing around with it it becomes second nature.
Another buddy of mine has the Power Box radio which looks like a quality unit also, but I'm invested in Jeti and see no reason to change.
