Not knowing anything about what you have or where you want to go with it. I have to go with advanced 24volt trolling motor also. You appear to be a HB man but before you pull the trigger make sure of brand connectivity and what fishfinder technology you are going to link with it. Its a long term investment and there are lot of options out there nowadays...

Spot Lock - no doubt about it. I use my spot lock a lot more than my side imaging.

Me I am totally different so used to running trolling motors by foot from Bass fishing that I would go with the SI first. Trolling motor will not find you fish, with Crappies usually not always but usually on some type of structure I could throw out a marker and control the boat on my own. Unless you fish a bunch of stronger current areas or fighting high winds then yes go with spot lock first.

SI will find you more fish then anything else you could buy and learn how to use it.
