Default Best headsail roller furling unit?

Hi everyone,

We're going to purchase a new headsail roller
furler for our Irwin C 38, and know very little
about the pluses and minuses of the various units.

Which units are the best for long term cruising,
considering overall quality of construction, and
ease of repair if something does go wrong?

Right now, we're looking at Harken, Profurl, and
Alado Nautica. Are there other brands we should
consider?

If you consider price, ease of maintenance,
longevity in a salt water environment, etc, which
unit do you think is the best overall value?

Regards,

Don W.
