Re: Need help with which one to use

Personally, I would use a potentiometer attached to the rotation point of your shooter for better feedback. If you don't have access to one of those, then the gyro would be your best bet. Last time I used a gyro, however, it was quite noisy and you would have to re-zero it several times per match. May be something we were doing wrong though.
