No question about it --- 12Volts.  You give up a bit of weight for bigger
wires, but you save a bundle because 28 V gadgets are more costly, more
difficult to come by and I think sometimes more difficult to deal with.  Any
weight savings in wire may be nullified by heavier boxes.  SFS can use
either 12 or 28.  Garmin 430 just came out with a 12V version; if you have
an older one you need a converter to go to 28V or you need a 28V system.
Jet peanut Gyro (2 1/4") for backup requires 28V a/c but some come with
inverter (d/c to a/c) in the box.  A 6 Amp converter 12V to 28V d/c is
available from AmeriKing for about $200 I think.  It weighs about 2# (ouch)
and will run both of the above mentioned units.
