They are much more efficient and flexible, but more expensive. Some doors are a little complicated to use this sort of system, but I think most of the garage doors installed in TV will work perfectly fine. They're called a "Jackshaft opener".
The Villages is a perfectly application for this sort of opener, as most of the garage doors are fairly small and lightweight and garages are attached to the home .
Probably an extra $300 in total, but definitely worth it, if you plan to live there for a while. Warranties are similar. There's no reason I know of, that either type won't easily last 15-20 years ... your Jackshaft opener will just be way quieter.
(& yes, it obviously cleans up your ceiling space.)
