I looked into this a few years ago and I preferred the Dynon unit. I
liked that it had airspeed, heading altimeter, and attitude all in one
unit, was compact, and could be had with a backup battery that allowed
plenty of time to land if the ship's battery failed.

I trained a friend for his Instrument Rating in a Van's RV-7A that was
equipped with the D10 and found it perfectly sufficient for instrument
flying. We did a lot of flying in actual conditions with it.
