I've never used the US Digital encoders but we just ordered and installed some SRX Mag Encoders on a new drivetrain, and so far we like them. They weren't too hard to install, but the downside is that it has to be somewhat placed precisely. There is a range you have to install them within, which is tight but these encoders should be very accurate and easy to use once it's tuned properly.
