I've used both, and prefer the Hoyt Super rest. It might look flimsy, but have never broken one yet. But either one will do the job.

In frigid conditions the Bear is not as brittle. I think the Hoyt works better in less than frigid conditions, my wife's recurve had one on it for years until the sticky stuff let loose, then she went to a verticle feather rest.  She liked that better.

Performance wise, they both improve arrow flight. I'd say if you are shooting with a plunger then use the Hoyt. If not use the Bear.
