[FTC]: 5 or 10 point goal?

As a strategy buff not participating in any FTC design or competition this year (silly "You're in college and can't start your own FTC team" grumble grumble grumble), I'm interested to see what people think of various strategy tradeoffs and designs this year. There are plenty (floor intakes or ramp intakes, hopper designs, single or multi ball shooters), but the one that's the most interesting to me is the decision to build either a 5 or 10 point goal shooter, or if you can do both, which one would be the primary component of an alliance.

If you're willing to share at this point, what thoughts went into your decision? What tradeoffs are you making to achieve one over the other? Why did one seem better or more reliable?

(My thoughts: large goal with a doubler ball, given a fast enough output, could allow for double or triple wide shooter and a few hundred points in a few easy seconds is possible without the goal moving on you. that's just me though)
