Default Boat Steering (tiller vs wheel)

I have a friend who owned a Sylvan with a 60 HP tiller steer motor. No problem
with torque pull even with fast acceleration. While fishing for walleye from
that same boat on the Illinois river, we saw a Lund with a 100 HP Mariner tiller
steer. There was a film crew on another boat taping them.

The lack of a console leaves a lot of extra room for storage and to move around.

Would appreciate any comments as to the pros and cons of tiller steering.
Have been fishing out of 18ft fiberglass for last ten years but will be
changing to aluminum deep V type boat. I have switched from bass fishing to
crappie (spring, fall and winter) and catfish in the summer. Would be
interested in comments from someone that fishes out of say a Lund 1775 Pro V
type with a 80 HP tiller steering motor.

Thanks
