Suzuki or Yamaha? And why?

Yamaha but only because for me it would be plug and play with existing controls, guages, prop, etc.

But Spare brings up a good point. Suzuki really left a skid mark on their reputation with the corrosion fiasco.

If I'm not mistaken it was an aluminum plug (bolt) that caused the problem and was supposedly addressed some time in 2008. Does anyone know - were some 2008 models impacted? Or was it just up until 2007?
