Direct drive is cheaper and lighter - gearbox is dearer, heavier but the pump runs at half speed and lasts longer. For the few quid get the gearbox

I've gone through 2 direct drive 13h machines in last 3 years.
But i hammer mine all day long day after day.
Gearbox is higher spec, higher still is belt drive.
All good depends how much you want to spend.
