Which is considered a better flash trigger?  Or shall I say most reliable?

I don't know much about the Radio Popper, but have the Pocket Wizard plus 2 and these work great.

I tried the RP's and think they work good, but I like PW better because of the display's they have.

I have the Pocket Wizard II's and III's.  Honestly I don't know about the Radio Poppers.  I've heard of them, but personally I went with the PW's.  Love 'em.

I've used both, and frankly there is no comparison.  Pocket Wizard is by far IMO a much superior product.   The PocketWizard Plus III's are my favorite even over their Flex TT5 and TT1.  A close #2.

I was going to buy pocket wizard, but then I found these

It makes your flash manual AFAIK however they work really well, and for the price of one pocket wizard, I was getting 2 of these. The other bonus for me was I don't need a PC Sync cable anymore :D

I've had an interference issue with Pocketwizards in the past. So I switched to Radiopoppers and has great success up until now. I purchased 4 Radiopoppers in October and non of them will trigger Norman 2000P or 4000. Radiopopper changed the acceptable sync voltage recently. Promark will not take the units back nor will they fix these units. In fact, they wouldn't even respond to my e-mail.
One contact to Pocketwizard, and I had answers. Pocketwizards will respond up to a 300 volt sync circuit. So I now take their radios on location again. I own 6 Pocketwizards an plan to get a couple more.
