Jack plates, luxury or necessity?

I'm looking at options for the new bay boat. I have never used a jack plate, but understand that they can help you get on plane in skinnier water, as well as get more "traction" in bad chop like you might find on the lake.
Do yall consider them a luxury or a necessity?
Beyond that, do yall prefer a hydraulic jack plate, or manual?

Not a necessity but opens the door for alot of performance gains on most boats

Might try calling "Cajun Jackers" in Milton,La near Youngsville. Ask for Dana, he builds them and is a guru of jack plates.

If you want to try and do both of these activities in the same day you will need a hydraulic JP.
Manuals are good for getting the most out of your setup that you will run 90% of the time.
If you are buying anything over 18ft in a glass rig its a necessity. The luxury is choosing the Hydro over the manual.
