Default Hydraulic Steering vs. cable - Opinions

I am looking for a new steering system.
Teleflex makes a hydraulic system for outboards with 150hp or less.

Does anyone have any experience with these that would share some good or bad
comments? Is it better than the cable type? The ad says it will steer more
easily but steering effort is not an issue. I am more interested in how long
this will last compared to a cable system.
What kind of problems do these systems typically have besides the inevitable
leak?
