It all depends if you want proper Jousting ( go for Destrier ) or just fancy dressage

And what level of entertainment you want.

The contact jousting a-la Destrier is of course more authentic etc, but the fancy dress jousters can usually be more entertaining. (more speed, and less waiting)

Just my thought after watching both types, and both types have their place.

Destrier pro is the professional side of Destrier, but don't forget its an amateur group too, and hiring the amateur side is much cheaper (basically paying for horse hire and balsa etc.). The chair of Destrier reenactment is Nathan, on Nathan Bale at hot mail dot com (all one word).
