Overall, the 13 speed is a better transmission, but a lot of it depends on the caliber of driver behind the wheel. Most of what's working for Swift, C.R. England, and all the other major megacarriers, I wouldn't trust to not destroy the auxiliary gear box on a 13 speed, and a nine speed would be a better choice for those "drivers".
