Self polishing or hard bottom paint??

I own a 29 year old sailing boat that I purchased two years ago and am planning on hauling it out this spring to renew my bottom paint. Currently it is painted (unknown number of layers of self polishing paint) and last painted three or four years ago.

I need sound advice if it is better to just power wash and repaint with another layer of self polishing paint or remove the whole thing and apply new coat of either self polishing or hard paint.

If removing the paint what is the best way of doing it? What are pros and cons of self polishing and / or hard bottom paint?

please advise
