What matters most
Shape and warranty are the dividers. The 16 HD is a rectangle at about $2,499; ACON recommends a limit of 300 lb, with a 10-year frame, 5 years on the mat and springs, and 2 on the pads. AlleyOOP runs $1,275 to $2,250 in rounds and ovals, rated to 245 lb, with a lifetime frame, 10 years on the mat and net when you register or buy direct, and 5 years on springs and pads. So AlleyOOP can cost less and carries longer frame and mat cover, but the 16 HD allows more weight and gives the even rectangular bounce. Pick by shape and how much the warranty length matters.
