Went with SidePower proportional thrust, and a size up from what is probably needed 95% of the time. Because I can run them, bow and stern, continuously for long periods I do maneuvers in Marinas solely with thrusters handing the turns and the main engines for go. The helm is not touched until underway. Hold is used rarely, same for the remote, not because I don't love the features but because dock hands and or the mate stepping off in the moment of arrival make it redundant most times. But, when single handing, then bonus, love it.
