PHB vs. Watt's Link

[airrj1]

I am planning for a new rear suspension for my Chevelle. I have read a substantial amount of past posts here and over at CC.com. I am looking for some opinions and some more clarification on the differences between running a Panhard Bar vs. a Watt's Link.

Here are the positives that I have found for each:

PHB mounted to the chassis on the left and the axle on the right...
The asymmetrical behavior of the PHB will help counteract driveshaft torque and aid in rear wheel traction.
Fewer parts to build and buy and less weight.

Watt's Link with the pivot mounted to the chassis...
Zero lateral movement of the rear axle.
RRCH does not move in bump/roll relative to the sprung mass of the vehicle. Therefore the Rear Roll Moment does not change.
More parts = more to build/buy and more weight.

All of that being said, I am looking at this from a clean sheet of paper approach. And money and time to build are not my primary concerns at this point. Can anyone add to the positives or negatives of either. And can anyone give me their reasoning of why one would be preferred over the other in practical terms. I know that Katz mentioned that he liked the Watt's over the PHB back in Dennis's 3-link thread from this summer, but I haven't seen allot of direct comparisons between each.



As always, thanks for you wisdom and assistance.
