i haven't tried the technics ones. but as far as i could read on the internet, most people suggest pioneer over the sldz. perhaps the sldz will suit you better, i suggest you try them both before buying. especially when the jog wheel is of great importance (i assume, since you spin hip-hop). the wheel is absolutely great for me and i love the feel of it. but again, make sure to try them before buying.
