Ejection Seats

Just been reading about the MB16A that's going to be fitted to the Typhoon and JSF/JCA. Apparently it can cope with a 17 stone pilot. Porky!!!

But I digress. The Typhoon jettisons the canopy, while the JSF blows the transparency with MDC. What influences the choice? Is it a manufactures decision or a customer option? Is one better than the other?
