I would recommend the tracker system. It seems that in rescue situations in the mountains I would always choose simplicity and the tracker is quite simple to use. You don't want to be unsure in the slightest bit how to use your beacon. The tracker is easy to figure out and with a bit of practice you can have it dialed

Write your answer here... The tracker is easy to use to find one beacon but does not work well for finding multiple victims,especially if you do not turn th e beacons off! Go with the pieps!

Depends, they are both very quality beacons. The Pieps works better than the Tracker for multiple burial situations, but the Tracker is extremely easy and intuitive to use. For a first time user, I'd recommend the DTS Tracker based on it's ease of use. Multiple burials are rare, especially if you use proper technique when traveling/skiing in the backcountry.
