well, I had one of each on an old team. This was a B league so there wasn't a whole lot of run out guys on it anyway. I liked the shotmakers ability more because if the table was open and the opponent was down to the 8 or the ball before the 8 (very common in b league) then he was usually out. but my position player would get so hung up on thinking of where the cueball was going that he wouldn't give a shot good attention and miss it.
