Default Gimbal Head
I am in the market for a new gimbal head, mine is no longer usable (long story). Looking at Wimberley and Jobu currently and just wanted comments on these two or any other brand. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What body and lens will you plan on using with the tripod? What type of photography do you tend to do most with the tripod?

Body is currently D-200, moving up soon to possibly full frame. Lens is 500mm and the Nikon F/4 600mm VRII is on order, head needs to be capable of attaching a flash bracket.

I am leaning to the Jobu at the moment as it appears to be getting lots of great reviews and a lot are switching to it from the Wimberley; but I'm still open for suggestions at this point.
