Well there are a few reasons why I personally went with CTEK:
1) Ctek chargers are notoriously good at providing really stable clean power to the battery, i.e. they have really low ripple percentages unlike other competitors. Ripple technically is not good for electronics like the IBS, so I went with CTEK as Noco mentions nothing about ripple with solid data behind it. All noco says is it provides power without unwanted ripple (technically there will still be some ripple but how much is the question), while ctek gives you solid numbers to back up their low ripple claim.
2) Alot of oems use rebranded ctek chargers (which should show as confidence in ctek quality), including bmw, mercedes, ferrari, acura, etc. No one in my knowledge uses rebranded noco chargers.
3) 3 year warranty vs 5 year warranty of ctek.
Otherwise both do pretty similar things, but the one benefit of the noco is that it can do both lithium and AGM.
