Ok I have decided to buy the 210 Outrage and I think the first thing that needs to be done is to put trim tabs on. Any recommendations between Bennett and Lenco?

Go with the lenco. They are much easier to install and I find them to be much quicker to respond. The nice thing is they are electric instead of hydraulic so you can run the lines up and over the top of transom and not have to drill a hole through the transom to run a hydraulic line. Also, if the Bennett hydraulic reservoir / pump unit fails it drains the hydraulic fluid all over. This happened on my fathers boat and it stained the gelcoat under his console. He ending up buying the Lenco retro fit unit for his old Bennett tabs and is much happier.

Lenco, simply because they are easier to install.
