We have only used 10 unit Pressure Pro for over 5 years with no problems. We believe it has alerted us 3 times to low tires. In very cold over night situations they will alarm at night.
We have never used any other system so can not give you a comparative evaluation.

What is your take on the best TPMS to buy?

Yes, the TST 507 comes with a screw-on stubby antenna, and there's an optional higher gain dipole antenna with about 10' of cable available. The TST 510 comes with both antennas. I have the dipole mounted back under the sofa in my Coachmen, and have no problem reading the toad sensors without a repeater, even when the toad is parked about 50' away. When I want to use the monitor in portable mode, I just unscrew the cable, screw on the stubby antenna, and unplug the hardwired power connection.

Is there a reason that you turn off the monitor when you arrive at your destination?
Yes, if left on, the sensors will continue to transmit and wear the batteries down prematurely. THAT is when the sensors go to sleep, when the monitor is off... I don't believe that's true. It would require two-way communication between the sensors and the monitor.
The sensors in the Pressure Pro and EEZRV TPMS systems both transmit as long as they are installed on the valve stems. The only way to shut them off is to unscrew them. It sounds like the TST works the same way, since you get valid readings in the morning before traveling.
The TireTraker, SmarTire, Hawkshead and others have sensors that go to sleep when the tire is at rest for some number of minutes.
That's correct, the TST sensors transmit periodically as long as they're installed. Turning off the monitor only extends the charge life of the monitor battery, if it's not hardwired or plugged into a 12-volt source. The EEZRV system appears to be identical to the TST 507 series, except for a different monitor button configuration.
I could be mistaken about the monitor/off/sensor/sleep function but the fact remains that the sensors work from a standstill every morning. Battery life is at five years and still going on all 6 sensors.
