They are each meant for different purposes. Make a decision after you have used them both for the season. You may want to keep both.

Very sound advice...I would keep both as well. Better to have and not need than need and not have (as you will see below)
BUT...if you are absolutely convinced you need to decide between the two...keep the rear mounted troller (kicker).
I speak from experience on this: twice now I have been caught on big water in a precarious position due to mechanical failure of the main 90 HP motor. In both situations, I would've killed to have a kicker as a back-up to get me off those lakes. Thankfully, both scenarios ended well...but both were life threatening.
And now, because of this, I have a 15 HP kicker....and still no bow mount electric.
