Now that Van’s sell both MT and Hartzell prop governors, is there any reason to buy one over the other?
Does anyone have any experience or know of somebody that has the Harrzell?

Bob, call a MAJOR propeller overhauler and ask them which governor they do the least maintenance on. then buy that governor.

Hartzell products are available at every repair station in the US. Does MT have the same market penetration?

Hartzells in general have some expensive ADs on them, and have
restrictions on rpm ranges on their aluminum prop for many engine/prop
combinations. I don't believe MT has either, or if you really want to
spend big money, the composite Hartzell doesn't have any problems that
have shown up, so far, except for price.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the PCU5000 and the "X" model as an
option. I know that wasn't the question but wanted to raise that there is a
3rd option out there.
Can be bought for about the same price as the MT. I have it but have not
tested/flown with it yet, Deems might be able to give his thoughts. VAF
forums had great feedback when I was researching this.

That will teach me to read the subject line more carefully. I was
referring to props, not governors.

When I was shopping for a governor, I contacted American Propeller in Ca. They had overhauled 3 props for me and are a well known major shop on the west coast. I asked them for a recommendation and they recommended the PCU5000 because,
A. it outputs 20-30% higher oil pressure than the others, and
B. as of my call (2007-2008) they had seen NO service,maintenance issues. I have it installed, and haven't had any issues in its limited 170 hours life.
