There are plenty of posts about the two coils on this and other forums. Just do a search and read them for the differing opinions. Only you can decide which fits your needs better.

I have both HF and in my case I tend to use the elliptical most of the time. I find it easier to maneuver in tight places and against barriers etc.

EDIT....I should add that my favorite spot to use it is a super trashy iron target rich area. Basically I just listen for that high squeaker tone

I was going to go with a 9 HF and then decided to go for the equinox 800 instead . If I were you I would go with the 9HF coil . The elliptical I can not speak for but I hear it is not as deep seeking .

I would think that it would depend on the type of terrain that you hunt.
If it were me hunting open ground I'd go 9"hf, If Heavy stubble, brush and high trash Elliptical.
I own the 9"hf, but from what I've heard I don't think there is a lot of difference in depth, just separation and coverage.
I don't think you can go wrong with either....

If separation is your thing....Calabash posted a video a while back and the 9" round separated better than the elliptical....

I like the 9" elliptical. It nailed a squeaker of a silver coin at 16" on the the beach a few days ago and is great in iron trash and very deep.

I have the 9" round HF and I really like it, however, I need better glasses to find the tiny targets that I am digging and digging fairly deep. They tend to hit pretty solid unless deeper and then I am just amazed at finding it at all. Smokeythecat kills it with the elliptical and has me wondering if I should have gotten one myself for the highest freq. I can really see where the shape can really work better in the tall weeds etc. I really think that the new 4.1 version with the HF coil is a sweet combo.
