Which Food mill/strainer

New Orleans, LA(Zone 9a)

I'm going to start some canning this year, mostly tomatoes & blackberries to start. I've picked out my canner, an All American 921 21-1/2-Quart. Now I'm looking at strainers/food mills. So far, I've come up with 2 basic types: A food strainer, such as http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-The-Original-Sauce-Master/dp/B0000DDVMQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2EXJMPCAK1M75&colid=1YNPXA80JSPIY
or a Food mill, such as this http://www.amazon.com/Mirro-Foley-2-Quart-Stainless-Steel/dp/B000LNUM8Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT11_nS?ie=UTF8&coliid=I5V0EFYGVJZB4&colid=1YNPXA80JSPIY

I've watched videos of both kinds and each seem to have their own pros & cons. The strainer seems to be messy, but quick. The mill seems to be neater, but slower.

Which would you recommend?
