Only flown piston fixed wing, however; all my helo flying has been turbine and i prefer it that way. Ok so there is a risk of a hot start but unless your on another planet you can tell when its more likely to occur (hot day, hung start eng temp rockets up!). Also your never shy of power with a turbine, (max load of fuel, 3 pax plus bagage and still had enough power for a normal transition!) oh and they are VERY reliable!
Hope this helps
