What seems to be a better toilet and why, Pett style vs. porta potti's (the kind with liquid that you flush)?

EDIT: Liquid may contain formaldehyde, which harms septic systems. Solid can be landfilled. Get it from Wal-Mart, take it back to Wal-Mart.

The Thetford porta potti (water version) works great, our kids use it alot.
But it is a bit nasty to empty (dump & run kind of thing) and hold your nose.
Not too messy, easy to rinse, but can be smelly.

We use the porta-potty (line the FWC one) for peeing, mostly at night, or once, when diarrhea paid a visit. We carry a dry bag type toilet and use it when camping where there are no public toilets and where a cat-hole latrine is not appropriate due to environment or population. The porta-potty is good for about 5 to 6 days, can be easily emptied in any toilet and a simple rinse is all that is needed if its only contents are urine and the blue rinse.
We have a very simple folding frame dry toilet that takes up very little space and the plastic bags are cheap. When we are camping without anyone around, we leave it set up outside and use the same bag for several "drops". I recommend that you get the gelling powder for any dry bag toilet.

Seeing how much the Pett toilet and bags cost, I will have to save up for it. In the mean time, we do have a Coleman flushing port a potti. The storage will be the only issue. The Coleman is big, the Pett is small.
Have a look here: Stink Link (I'm cheap.)

We do have an "emergency" set up. However, to date, it has seen no use whatsoever and just takes up prime space.
I'm not saying anything though. You guys know the drill!
