Brian.....I don't think you can go wrong with either AF1 or M&G. I would have bought the M&G unit, but their wasn't room for the unit on the first vehicle I installed a brake system on. I've moved the AF1 unit to three different trucks over the years. With M&G, I believe you can exchange the toad portion of the unit (at a cost) when you change vehicles, if it will fit. Again, both good systems, but the AF1 might be a little more interchangeable if you change vehicles in the future. If your future vehicle doesn't have room for the M&G unit, you would have to start all over.
SMI has recently improved the Air Force One unit by making the toad controller smaller and incorporating the brake away tank into the controller. They also improved the unit that mounts to the MH. In the past, it was just a line tapped into a brake can. The DOT had issues with this and so did Freightliner. The new unit uses more safety features if an air line should break.
