It depends on where you plan to mostly drive the vehicle. I have a Sun Pass Pro on my vehicle tagged in FL and an EZ-Pass on my vehicle tagged in NY. Although they both work on any toll that I have encountered, the Sun Pass does NOT give you the electronic tolling pass rates at the NY crossings; you pay the same rate as if you had no pass at all at the toll by plate rates. For example, yesterday I drove over the Throgs Neck Bridge with my Florida tagged vehicle and was billed $11.19 to my Sun Pass account. If I had driven the EZ-Pass vehicle over that same bridge, the toll would have been $6.94. I do not pay monthly for the EZ-Pass transponder. I have also had several instances when the tag on the vehicle didn't match the tag in the transponder's account (got a new car and failed to update the EZ-Pass account) and I was sent a toll by plate bill in the mail. There were numerous very frustrating phone calls to get it sorted out, so I don't recommend moving the transponder from vehicle to vehicle with EZ-Pass as you could have this issue. I think the Sun Pass Pro website actually says that you can move the transponder with you from vehicle to vehicle. I hope this is helpful.
