I prefer the hibbico iron.
the coverite iron is too rounded for my liking. I find it hard to seal down edges because of the roundness of if. The hobbico iron is more squared off making it very easy to tell where the heating surfaces is and therefore exactly where to place the iron to get the results you are looking for.

That said, they are both good irons, they both heat up nicely, they both function very well. Its just that coverite is a bit more awkward to use for me. Its hard to put in words and it is only a matter of opinion but there it is. it feels awkward to me.
