What I like about the other one is that I can use it to jumpstart if necessary, when a long charge is just not an option.
I would NOT leave a conventional charger, even with a "trickle" setting connected for an extended period. Once the battery is charged, it should be disconnected. Even for a fully discharged battery, that means no more than 2 or three days.
