Default GHG or KDB ?

Just out of curiosity, which one out of these two do you guys prefer and why? Pros and cons from your experience with these devices?
Thanks for the replies.

The upgrade (forgot which one...at work right now)....because it has a wider listening arc

The KDB is better because it's pivotable and has a wider listening arc. A contra is that it brakes fairly easy under DC attack.

I've tended to always steer clear of the KDB because of the description that it breaks easily. I've recently tried upgrading to it, but managed to avoid any serious D/C attacks so far, so it's untested. Just how easily is it likely to break? Will it break before anything else, or is it at just risk when other damage is being incurred? Obviously it's a critical piece of kit, so I'd like to avoid losing it...

It's not that breakable as in the description. You need a pretty close hit to have it damaged or even destroyed and by then a broken hydro is probably your lowest concern...

When you get the KDB you do not lose the GHG. They are both there.
