Vincehair,
I was in the same shoes about 6 months ago. In the end i chose strip with a coalition clinic here and I'm now 6 weeks post-op and waiting for results to come along.
Do your research. Independent forums will give you more balanced info then sites paid/sponsored by clinics.
I came to the conclusion that there were just too many inconsistent results of yield from FUE and in the end chose strip. I have seen great results from fue, but on the whole the lack of yield issue was the deciding factor for me. I could not afford to start the HT trail, have a new hairline after an HT and bad density around it. Not only a waste of donor/money/time but also the emotional stress of going thru another HT to fix something that should have have been done first time round.
Regarding bad donor strips, i found that they mainly fall into 2 categories, surgeries done many years ago and bad doctors.
Remember, do you research and good luck with your plans.
