There's a lot of factors to think of.

PJ's have the new replaceable rubbers which are easier to switch over, and they are cheaper. The new formula Carbon Fibre springs also seem very good.
In my experience PJ have much more helpful staff who are always willing to give advice (on anything, not just bocking ;D)

The new poweriSer 2007 models have improved bindings and calf cuffs. Some people prefer cuffs, others don't like them. They also have tan hooves which do not mark gym floors - PJ hooves do. The springs are also fibreglass rather than Carbon Fibre. However, they are more expensive, and the staff aren't as helpful.

At the end of the day, it's all personal choice. There is no "best" brand, especially between 2 such similar models.

Your question was about the product, not the people right? I only have experience with pro-jumps so I can't give a comparison... but I can summarise the above post which didn't seem to come to any conclusion.

Powerisers are slightly better, but more expensive.

(However, if you could hold out for Pro-jump elites, they'll win! ;D)

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.
