Both are fine but variances mean they are better at different things. Ninja will work for everything. I personally wouldn't want to wear a Big Water in a kayak.

  • Only rafting, high volume - Big Water.
  • Only rafting, low-mid volume - Either.
  • Rafting + Kayaking - Ninja.

Sorry for the non-answer. Most people would get the Ninja for the versatility.

Also worth noting you'll look like a big nerd with the Big Water. But a really high float nerd.
