LOL, that is something that people usually pay a consultant a lot of money to determine, and would necessitate a detailed study of your specific application. I seriously doubt you are going to find anything terribly useful in a free advice website. How about this:

Turbines: good, sometimes

Pistons: not so good, sometimes

Turbines: require specialized service and maintenance training

Pistons: most people who have worked on cars can work on them

Turbines: fewer moving parts to wear out

Pistons: lower chance of high speed fragmentation if anything goes wrong

What about price, efficiency factor, fuel quality demands and load characteristics?
