Personally I use the cheap plastic ones. Part of this is habit - the indicator I used when I first started umpiring was the cheap 3-4-3-9 one. When one gets dropped in the dirt and jammed or broken or misplaced, I know that it didn't cost me much money. I don't really understand why there is 3 strikes or 4 balls, but it's what I'm used to. I won't switch because it would mess me up everytime I went to reset it. As others have said, I use the innings to count the run (if necessary).
