I have a carrot under the tree waiting for Xmas. Went back and forth between that and the TRX for months trying to figure out which way to go. (Old Garrett Propointer is finaly getting worn out after years of use) Finally decided on the carrot and jerr-man hooked me up at Anitque Detectors. Also bought from Bart at Big Boy Hobbies and Phil at Myers Depot in the past. All have been excellent. Don't have a favorite just trying to spread the little money I have around to the sponsors. Don't think any of them will do you wrong. A lot of threads on here comparing the 2 and others. But the Garrett Carrot and White TRX seem to be the top tried and true performers and most popular. I would stay clear of the Fisher/Bounty Hunter pointer, it does work but you basically need to be almost touching the object for it to find it. Personal preference. Some do prefer that though, just not me. It is alot cheaper though.
