Default Viper GPS or Lojack?

Which do you all think is a more suitable option? I've got my alarm all set up, but i want it a little more beefy, so i've decided to either go with one of the 2 setups...the Viper GPS system or a Lojack system, tell me your opinions on both
or

How much is the service after one year?

Looks very easy to install. I'm looking at the manual on directechs.
