christmas is coming up so my wallet will gain some weight soon. ( jobless high school student. yes im excited for christmas )
but i couldnt make a decision between these options

i could get a cybersyncs set ( 1 trans 2 receiver )
or a skyports set ( 1 trans 1 receiver )

which come out to around the same price.
or i could just save and get some pocketwizards.

but out of the two cheaper options, which wireless trigger is more reliable? which is more bang for the buck?
i will be using 2 vivitar 285hv's if it helps.

oh btw. i know i need an adapter for skyports for viv285hv's. but do pwizards or cybersyncs need them to fire this flash?

The cheaper options are not that good -unreliable firing, hard to find batteries, etc- so I would get the Cybersyncs. If you can wait and save for pocket wizards it would be the better option.
