My 40 had a wheel pilot when I bought it. (ST4000+ and the wheel ring) It was only useful for motoring in calm seas. The mechanism would get overpowered in anything else and then it would just quit trying. I viewed it as a safety item and so I have since upgraded to a hydraulic ram on the quadrant and it works much better.
I left the electronics alone (ST4000+) so that will need to be upgraded when the budget allows. For now it is reliable in the sense the mechanics don't get overpowered. If you are starting from scratch I would find a way to install a below decks AP.
