I have no experience with the Eagle Cuda 300, however from my experience with Eagle and Garmin products generally, I would say go with Garmin.

We have some Garmin 90's at work - they seem to work well and I don't think there have been any problems with them.

we have a couple of Eagle cuda 128 sounders on the ribs. Been on there for 4 years or so. Easy to fit, easy to use and cheap as chips around £65. Transducers siliconed into the wells instead of where they are supposed to go over the stern.
Brilliant-still sounding with no hiccups at WOT, no problems with waterproofness etc. - compared to the hummingbirds we had before they are in a completely different class. We only bought the first one because a client had one on his boat and was chuffed with it.

Agree with all of this.

Garmin sounders are prone to fail. My mate has had 2 fail within 2 years.
