I've had both motor guide and minn kota - Minn Kota wins hands down!

Smaller ones I would choose Minn Kota. For larger units it is not even up for conversation for me, Motor Guide. I have had too many Minn Kotas break in comparison to Motor Guides on My bass boats. I am pretty sure it comes down to a chevy vs ford deal. There are good and bad ones out there.

Motor Guide
I have had the minn kota, the evrinude, and now the pro 70 12 24 motor guide and I wouldn't trade the motor guide for two of either of the other ones......... just my 2 cents......

Motorguide Pro Series 82. Just because I like the foot pedal better than the MinnKota. Both good units.

Had a Motor Guide and it was a battery eatin' SOB. Fell apart on me. That was 20 yrs ago. I still think how bad that motor was. Switched to the Minn Kota Power Drive. Turned too slow but was great for trolling.
Now have a Minn Kota Maxxum. Very pleased with it.
Last boat I was in that had a less than three year old Motor Guide on it. The rubber piece where the cables and wires going in was peeling out to where you could see all the guts. I thought they still make junk after seeing that. Goes to show that once you get a mind set on something, it's hard to change.
One thing for sure is I like variable speed drive so I can dial in my trollin' motor. That five speed crap is for the birds.
If'n is was to get another trolling motor, I would look at Terrova just cuz it has the autopilot for trollin' and a decent enough quick turn when tryin to hold over brush in 20 mph winds.
If your a troller. Minn Kota for sure. If you single pole and hold in place, either would be all right
