The longer I use my camper, the less love I have for Lippert. Kind of like the Yankees and Cowboys- I like anyone playing against them. :)
That said, I explored both and I personally liked the idea of each leg having its own pump and not having hydraulic lines running the length of the camper. I know long hydraulic lines are done in many industries and configurations; I just feel like things are generally half-assed with RVs and it's a point of problems.
I do know that Lippert has been trying to get a system like Big Foots with separate hydraulic tanks for a while now (like a year+). They just haven't come to market with it yet. I'm not sure what the hold up is.
