I think rollers are way easier, and way more consistent, you just have to keep them maintained (keep the rollers rolling).

I am not sure if the advise given here is based on experience, but I can not imagine how anyone would have a difficult time launching solo with rollers. If anything, i find loading a bigger challenge solo. With a second body you can drive almost all the way up, and have your helper clip you in and take up slack, and then you are 95% of the way done. you can't get it that far up if you are by yourself, at least I haven't found a good way yet, so a little more cranking when alone....

would anyone care to expound on why bunks are easier to launch than rollers?
I never had a problem launching solo with rollers. I have seen plenty of people have issues launching with bunks at low tide though....
