Also check Jenny's notes for a chart - I remember reading over a chart in her notes that lists different types of systems and their differences.
Not sure there is really a pro con list like what you're looking for because it really just depends if a system fits your clients needs, building, occupancy, etc., so a pro for one might be a con for another. There is no "best" system, just a bunch of options you can mix and match.
