Being that you said you were going as a co-angler I'll offer what I have found. I was trying to decide which one to fish for next year and have decided to fish the BFL. I could fish as a boater but have decided to do one more year as a co-angler. The reason I chose the BFL is because BASS is still going to use the shared weight for co-anglers again this year. I don't feel like I or any other co-anglers are getting a fair deal if I have to rely on my boater to catch fish. I don't think it is fair if I come in with the largest bag on the co-angler side but get beat because someone comes in with one keeper and their boater has a heavier weight than me and I get beat. It should be boater against boater and co-angler against co-angler.
