What are the advantages to various launchers

My team has been trying to decide on how we are going to propel the ball, and we had 2 main ideas; the obvious one is a catapult that uses springs or surgical tubing to snap an arm quickly making the ball go flying. But we are also thinking of a kicker like in breakaway. What are some advantages of both and are there other ways of moving the ball?
