No question,,,go four stroke.
Better fuel economy, less smoke and fumes, better lugging power, much quieter, smoother running at low speeds.
After running 2 strokes for 50 years, I switched to a Mercury 4s 75hp and love it.

They have had the "bugs' worked out on four strokes years ago. I switched to a four stroke 3 years ago and would never go back. Its just way better any way I look at it.

Honestly new technology will always have room for improvement, but I fish as much as anyone and have not had any issues with my SHO. I think Yamaha has learned and improved a lot since they first came out, but they are still new. But having one with 130+ hours on it, I would say go 4 stroke.

4 stroke is more fuel efficient.
2 stroke has better power to weight ratio (not as heavy for same hp) and requires less regular maintenance.
For a big boat with a big motor, 4 stroke will be a lot cheaper to operate over time.
For a smaller boat, 2 stroke will give much better performance and won't weigh the back end down nearly so much.

If you haven't had both you don't have a dog in the fight. I'm with Doug. I've got 115hrs on mine and zero issues. You can't go wrong with either but after having both I will never go back
