EPIRBs offer a couple of other benefits - they float upright, and some
have strobes. My PLB has to be held upright so the antenna is properly
oriented.
I guess it depends on your intent - will you be beyond a reasonable 24
hour rescue? Single handed (with PLB attached) or full crew?

I'm considering adding an EPIRB or PLB over the winter. I know the
EPIRB is registered to the boat and the PLB is not. I know the EPIRB
is good for 48 hours, the PLB is good for 24. If I get out of the Bay
it will be to New England or possibly Bermuda (in my dreams).
Which would you buy? If an EPIRB, Type I automatic or Type 2 manual?
