I use a Wilma system and have done for a couple of years now. They have a fair few bad points but the short answer is that they are good value considering that they are relatively cheap.
Bad points include poor fitting connections on the drippers, pots that are too close together and poor quality grade of pump. If you are resourceful you can sort a couple of these things out yourself and still have a very cost effective setup. Good points are that they are great for small spaces and are cheap and come in a number of configurations. The Wilma 9 pot looks like an improvement over their sixteen pot system.
As for the other system I don't have any experience. It looks like you'd need more space for it and it looks like it'd cost a fair bit more for a similarly specced system to the Wilma. Do you have any prices and ideas of what size of system you are planning on ?

For me, buying this kind of hydro system is stupid in some point of view. For that money i can build on my own even true aeroponic system. Why you want to pay them for something that you can do on your own?? There is really big amount of info on this and other sites. Do some searching, spend night or two, make some notes, grab some tools, smoke some joint and go

Hold on to your money for now and do some research. It will actually save you much time and money in the future.
my only question would be is not which system but what you intend to grow in them??
if you intend to grow different strains in each pot then this could be problomatic due to 1 res filling all pots,
let me explain more
different strains will require different feeding ec at different stages of growth so only having 1 res would not supply the plants with their specific needs
if you are growing clones then both systems would be ideal as you can pretty much gurantee that the clones will all take the same amount of ec at each stage of growth
i personally grow in dwc, bubbler or oxy pot and use 5 single buckets the reason for this is so i can dial into exactly what each plant wants and requires, and i grow different strains all at 1 time
the only downside to having a recirculating system is that if you fuk up on ec and ph etc then all the plants will suffer where if you use single pots you have more full control
hope this helps

Hi.
The Bubble Pot is an RDWC setup and the Atami an ebb & flood setup am I right?
Which is better? I don't know, someone with more hydro experience and info than me would be more suited to answer but I think it might be a bit of an apples an oranges situation..
Anyway, here's a thread that seems to be about comparing the two styles of hydro setups, check it out: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=124680.

will be growing indica all same seed.. still looking for info..... and much appreciated thanks guys
again growing from seed could produce different phenos for example if i was growing blue cheese then i know there may be a possibility of 2 different phenos 1 of them being more sativa dominant and the other being more indica
im not gonna get 5 identical plants unless i grow from clone so this again could sway my ec, instead of feeding all my plants the correct ec they desire i you would have to balance it out some where in between
if 1 plant is feeding @ .8 ec and another is feeding at @ .6 ec you wll have to make your res .6 otherwise the lower feeding plant will overdose on nutes and the bigger feeding plant is only just getting enough to keep it going,
it takes a bit of practice and a wealth of knowledge to get it right in any system with 1 res feeding all plants and as i previosuly stated unless i was growing from clones then i wouldnt use a 1 res system.
id use single buckets so i could give each plant exactly what they require and when they require it
hope this helps and i wish you luck
peace
