Fez, 
 
Jim Lux has already pointed out the main differences between 
SG and SS Tesla systems but the long and short of it is that if 
you are looking for the simplest one to construct, the SG driv- 
en coil wins hands down. Amazing strides in SSTC performance 
have been made in just the last decade and the dual resonant 
solid stae Tesla coil (DRSSTC) design would likely be the 
clear winner in spark length vs. wall plug power draw, assuming 
that the system is fully tuned and optimized, but DRSSTCs also 
require considerably more electronics skills to construct than 
does a classic spark gap driven system. 
 
So it comes down to how honed that you think your electronics 
maintenance construction skills are as to which type of coil that 
you decide to construct.

David,
Please,bear in mind we DON'T want to make tesla coil for generating crescendos of HV-HF  sparks emanating from the top of a secondary coil.
Matter of fact we don't want to make any spark at all.Our goal is to make tesla coil which will serve for the purposes of testing HV equipment to  oscillatory transients.

Regards,
Fez
