They are both very good. I have a suncoast fully built and have over 160,000 mi. on it and it hasn't missed a beat. I love it. As far as the Goerend never heard a bad thing about them and service is A1. Being that your in Wisconsin i would go more for the Goerend just because of the fact that your close. I had mine built and shipped and then I had to install. If i had to do all over again I would probably go with Goerend even though I haven't had a single problem with mt Suncoast. Both very good trannys You'll be happy with either one
