i like dripworks too, fwiw
imho simpler is better when it comes to drip irrigation
double filtered is great, and always check the filters, at least a couple times a week. Keep a few clean ones of each model/size you need on hand for fast action switch outs when in the feild, then when you get back to the work station you can take your time cleaning the dirty filters (which i prefer to do by soaking in bucket overnight with a h2o2 solution and using diff sized brushes depending on the filter style i.e disc or mesh ect), without your garden skipping a beat. Shit is designed to work like this, simple. It only takes a second and prevents a clogged filter which is usually the only headache you deal with when using drip irrigation. They even make timers specifically for low psi setups, if thats something one would have to deal with.
Timers, poly line, pressure compensating emitters ect... it makes it all so easy and simple. That being said, if one chooses to handwater, Id say they have a pretty good understanding of the daily changes and needs of each plant, which can be helpful, and easy if the garden isnt to big
but on any sort of semi mersh farm a drip system is the way to go, and add mulch if you want to conserve even more water
