IMO there is nothing wrong with hostage or WB style rest they work very well and are accurate,but I switched to a drop away and won't go back to the other style,I use a Rip-Cord and found it to be more accurate and faster then the full containment style rest!
Its more of a personel preference, though the drop aways can be a little harder to set up so if you do switch I would recommend having a pro shop install and set it up!
Hope this helps,and welcome to bowhunting its an addiction!!!
