I am a Hummingbird fan all the way. I use an older boat model, but have made it very mobile so I can use it on any boat. I have never used the Fishing Buddy models, so no input there.
If you are using a standard pontoon 8 or 9 foot, a Minn Kota 30 should be fine. I use one on my Assault and Predator and they are 8'6" long.
Nice thing about a boat model sonar is you can run it and your motor off the same battery and a smaller rechargeable for motorless days.
I use Scotty and RAM. You can even get glue on Scotty mounts that are great for adding rod holders anywhere, specially frameless models. Glue on mounts are like $8.00 but the boat cover really needs to be PVC coated.
Just me, but I have a problem using a lot of PVC on an expensive boat...LOL
