donmas2000,
I did a lot of research on the difference in the two. While the fusion may be good for some, I prefer the ADR. Several reasons I prefer the ADR for the following reasons "but not limited to":
1- The return to duty is much quicker
2- Average recovery time is quicker
3- It's approved by the FDA
4- It preserve mobility
In addition, I am a marathon runner, I need all the mobility that I can get.
