I've had both, and actually liked the electric tabs more simply for the instant response to changes. With hydraulic tabs you have to wait for the pump to build pressure for the tab to move, and there was always a brief delay in response to the switch. My lenco's gave me no trouble what so ever, but I have replaced several bennett trim tab switches at $70 a pop, and a $300 pump(but in all fairness, it died because water got in it when the boat sank). I've had retractors on both styles, so that's not an issue. That said, most all of them are good for the most part if taken care of.
