Pioneer hydraulic coupler style

Since I am going to institute several new hydraulic output circuits on my 504U, and replace the pair of quick connector sockets originally on the tractor (old,dis-used, rusty) I am trying to decide what version of Pioneer couplers to use. I don't currently have any implements outfitted with either the ball -or- poppet couplers so that isn't the determining issue either.

There is no cost difference, but the poppet type can flow at a higher rate.

Does either the ball -or- the poppet type have any other distinct advantage that would deem them preferable?
 
The old pioneer ball type are the same style as the new ISO couplers used on the newer tractors. If they will flow enough for the 20-50 GPM 2250-3500PSI pumps I would not worry about the flow rate unless you are trying to flow much higher volume or pressures.
We use all of those styles and have mated the ball to the poppet type that IH used in the 60's they will work together. Though once in a while they will miss align and lock then just disconnect and plug back in to solve the problem.
 

Is the advantage of the ball-type due to better self cleaning , reducing the likely hood of leakage when uncoupled , and maybe, a lower possibility of damage to the movable valve/ball ???
 

The standard 1/2" pioneer coupler found on most under 100 hp tractors will not flow more than 12 gpm.
1/2" ball coupler is flow rated for 8 gpm
1/2" nipple coupler is flow rated for 12 gpm.
50 gpm flow can be accomplished but it takes a 1" coupler

We have a couple of tractors with the higher flow valves that don't work well with the ball type coupler, we changed most of the implements over to poppet style.
