If I had to do it all over again I would have gone with pocket wizards! If you plan to use them with any type of hotshoe flash (580EX/II, 430EX, Vivitar 285HV, SB-800 etc) then you're in for a real treat. I have not heard much issues with them if you plan to use them with studio strobes.

Take a look at the links below that will explain some of the issues and a fix I came up with for using them with hotshoe flashes.
