Would you rather fish downrigger or lead line?

I have a small aluminum boat that I fish out of with one small down rigger and one pole with lead line and I prefer the down rigger. The down rigger is much easier for controlling depth and you don't have to let out near as much line. I usually only let out about 10 to 15' of line before I clip my line onto the down rigger weight. I have a hard time figuring out exactly where the strike zone is when I am using the lead line.
