The only hit that I know of about the 4-108 is that the operator's
manual introduction for bleeding the fuel system starts out with "For
the operator who is unfortunate enough to run out of fuel," and ends up
with "If this doesn't work, call for professional help...You do have a
working radio and did remember to pack some flares, didn't you?"

It's a real dog to bleed.

Not being personally familiar with the other choices, all I can say is
I've had a 4-108 for the last 5 years and it's been bulletproof.

It's never taken me more then 15 minutes to bleed mine, and that was the
first time I did it. Now that I have it down to more of a "science" and
can do it in under 10 minutes. And now that I've installed an electric
pump on it, I can bleed it in around 5 minutes.
