Would you rather fish downrigger or lead line?

Nothing feels better to be than when a fish hits your lure on the troll. That's all fine and good in the spring because fish are usually higher up in the water column. But as warmer days arrive and boating pressure the fish go down so getting down deeper is important. I like a lead line set up, but it seems if you let out to many colors you get a real bow in your line and your hooking ratio goes down. The DR is great, I only let out my line ten to twenty feet, let it down, and because there is no slack they sure hook themselves. But the rods taken out of your hand. On the positive side it opens me up to eat more goodies and enjoy more what's around me. I have two lead line setups. One with sixteen lb. line and the other with twenty six lb line.
Which do you like best Downrigger or lead line?
