Default HEI vs Pertronic pointless ignition systems

I have read most of the past postings from this site and notice that discussions on pointless ignition systems brings some criticisms of the Pertronic point replacement system.

I have a low mileage Delco point distributor in my 401 V6 and I would like to upgrade to pointless ignition. Seems a given that the GM HEI is better, but is it that much better? Like a 12" thick concrete driveway is better than a 4" thick drive, but the 4" drive should be long-lasting, too.

Anyone who has had experience with both care to comment?
Thanks,
