Hi Burncycle,

In my unscientific opinion, here's some random observations:

They're both fairly easy to light.
The WF stays lit better than the TQ.
The WF burns a little hotter than the TQ.
The WF is 100 times more prone to failure. If the wrapping becomes punctured, the active chemicles will evaporate and render the tinder uselss.
IIRC the WF is much more expensive than TQ, and you can make your own TQ tabs.
The WF takes much much more space in a kit because of it's sensitivity to the enviornment and packing.

So, do whatever you do, but experiment and get good at it. Try starting fires with your WF with a spark lite, (or old flint lighter) and a ferro rod. Then buy (or make) some TQ tabs and experiment some more. See what you like about both and make it your choice.

I started with WF (actually some similiar thing they don't sell any more) and now almost exclusively use TQ style tabs.
