Both are fine. I use System 3 because their office used to be around
the corner from my shop.

I don't think you will notice any difference. I think the SystemThree is
slightly thicker than West 105 but not enough to matter.

As the old saying goes, "A Flying Red Horse at 1,000 ft, can't tell the
difference."

Strictly a price and availability issue.

System III is slightly clearer and slightly more flexible. WEST is slightly
harder and has a bit more amber to it. Note that color depends highly on
how long your hardener's been sitting around too, so don't use this all by
itself as a decision making factor. I've used both, but seem to be pretty
much a S-III guy now. Part of that is due to the anti-yachty-wood-rubbing
crowd attitude that I have though. Don't like Volvo's either...

Both are good products whose makers do a good job of supporting and guiding
users. The differences in the product and the cost are negligible. Pick
what's available in your favorite distribution channel. You will continuue
to use and will buy more.
