Returning to SH4, which mod should I use?

Ahoy,

After some considerable (cough) time AWOL, I am returning to SH4. I've reinstalled my original game, patched it to 1.4, and (re)purchased the Uboat Missions add on to upgrade to v1.5.

Back in the day, I ran the rather excellent TMOwTw mod, but it (and everything else on my old hard drive) died in a fire some time ago. I now have a much newer/nicer computer and Win7/64bit installed.

Looking around, it seems the two choices for Megamods are TMO and RFB, either of which will pair nicely with RSRDC. I do not see the old TMOwTw mod, so it looks like its one or the other of these two for me.

Is there a forum post somewhere that compares the differences between TMO and RFB, so I can decide which is better for me, or is there a clear 'better' choice for a *very* rusty skipper returning to the Pacific?

Regards,

Matt

Edit: I found my notes for Pacific Thunder 8 on a card in my manual for SH4. Sadly, after hunting up the old website, it looks like PTC is no longer active.
