My personal / professional opinion would be to go with a WET system.

Another vote for wet. Either could work well, just prefer the convenience and safety of a quality wet setup.

The safest system is the one used in the right application, tuned properly, used properly with quality products..

I use both dry and wet.. Like I said it depends on the application. If it were mine and it was using a factory LSX computer I would put a wet plate system on it and go have fun..
