Personal experience, I have seen more problems with Compustar over Viper.
The two way remotes with Viper don't transmit the first time sometimes, they always page you though.
Compustars will sometimes false alarm. This is sometimes cause by the driver "paging" sensor or sometimes an internal problem with the alarm itself.
Honestly range is about the same between the two as long as both are FM.
I have come across 2-3 of these issues with both systems over the past year. So it would be up to you which one you want to go with.
