I use a 5D MKIII, planning on getting a MKIV soon (but will be keeping the MKIII as second camera).

I use Off Camera Hot Shoe flashes sometimes. Today I use Canons ST-E2 that works quite good, indoors atleast.
For outdoor / more complex enviroments I use some cheap China trigger, that is not that good of a build quality and not always reliable.

So I do want to upgrade to something better.
I mainly use Canon Strobes (580EXII, 580EX, 430EX) but would be nice to have the possibility to use some other strobe aswell. (But not a requriment)

E-TTL would be nice, but not a TOP priority.
High Speed Sync would be nice aswell, and more important than E-TTL
Ability to trigger regular strobes would also be nice (PC-Sync strobe)
Possibility to trigger at least 3 strobes, preferably 4-5


Want to look at two options.

1. What is the BEST remote trigger. Make, Model and a motivation WHY? Pros - Cons

2. What is the best "budget" option (not cheapest, rather most bang for the buck). Same here, Make, Model and motivation why? Pros - Cons


So, give me your best shots!

Yongnuo, YN622C and YN622c-TX for your control, although you may have this on your camera, not sure. I am not a pro user, so can't answer your questions re pros and cons, all I know is they work for me on my 1dsii and 500d, with my Yongnuo speedlights! They do offer E-TTL and HSS. They can also trigger strobes via PC port and cable. Great bang for buck in my opinion.

I use Canon EX flashes and the YN-622c/tx system. It works well. It is cheap.
