Mercury or Tohatsu

[tokiko]

While I am cognizent that most of you have no opinions about much I am scratching my head over which engine might be the best "D" stock choice.The Merc 44 CI XS or the Tohatsu 42CI Bass.
Omitting cost and availability as factors I would like a strictly subjective opinion from my fellow SOR as to which would be the best choice over ,say the next 3-5 years.

Best regards,
And Merry Christmas,
