Default Lazy Jack vs Dutchman Sail Flaking System

The comments on lazy jacks and the Dutchman are excellent.

furling mains
They do jam at the worst times.
I had one start to come out of the grove, which meant I could not unfurl the
whole sail.
Because battens cannnot be used, the roach is nil is negative. On boats
with high roach mains, like Hunters, roller furling takes out a huge sail
area.

I am not sure which is better the Dutchman or Lazy jack Sail Flaking
Systems.
Other prefer to have in the mast main fuller for cruising.
I am looking at this new boat and cannot make up my mind which system to
get.
I wonder if someone can offer some comments based on their own experience.
TIA
