Have never seen a Native system, but I believe it's a propeller-based system. I don't know if it lifts out as easily as the Hobie system does, but if it doesn't then shallow water might present more of a problem for the Native.
My Hobie is a dream, for whatever that's worth.
Edit to add: I just found and watched a video on the Native Propel system, and it looks to be a fine setup. It does allow you to pedal in reverse, which a Hobie does not. I don't find that much more than a minor inconvenience, but it might be more important to some.
