If you are really stuck for room to store the dish the "ground mount" is more compact. I find having to bend over or get down on my knees a real pain these days which is why I opted for the tripod as I can do the alignment standing up.
I have found the 85cm dish is easier to aim and works better in rain or heavy cloud(less dropouts) because it gathers more signal. If you have a look at TV stations you will see really big dishes and that is the reason why. more dish=more signal.
If you had the space a 1.2m dish works really
well!
