Hot-Surface Ignitor versus Ignitor Flame Rod

[cn]

Just want to 'educate' myself. I was reading somewhere and came across this:

http://no_DIY.com

What are the pro's and con's of HSI vs IFR?

If I understand correctly, the HSI heats the filament so it is cherry hot, then gas comes out and burner is on.

IFR is probably like modern gas stove (or gas grill), a spark is produced while gas is on, then burner is on.

Any technology is better than the other?
Just curious.

This will be your only warning from me.
