This question has resurfaced for me especially with the creation of the new motor controllers such as the spark.

Well the new Talon SRX is best if you can take advantage of what it offers over the Victor SP which is control by CAN and direct sensor feedback (encoders). This is why it costs more. If you can't take advantage of that then the Victor SP is better because it is cheaper and offers the same size advantages as the SRX. Hope that helps.

Also, Jag - ewww - don't use that...
