If you want to split a thick hair I feel the Pertronix is better because it 
uses a series of magnets to trigger the electronic unit while the Compufire 
uses an electronic eye.  The magnets won't be affected by dust, ice or 
water inside the dizzy; the electronic eye can (since this stuff shouldn't 
be in there this probably only concerns off-roaders).

I'm not sure which C-Fire system is being referred to here, but the 
Compu-Fire basic points replacement setup and the Pertronix both use the 
same Hall cell trigger, i.e. magnets.  I even did a reality check on mine, 
nope no electronic eye!
