Bladders are better and safer - but more time consuming, more difficult to install, take up more useable space, and are more expensive. Still, that is likely what I will use too.

Cruisingdad,

Where do you intend to situate the bladder, if you go for it? Have you investigated how you will tie it into the system? i.e. pump from bladder to main tank or go directly to the filter? Gerry cans on deck add alot of topside weight, which I would think is not desireable either.
