I have a Kurt, a Computrainer and E-motion rollers. If I had to own one it would be the Computrainer because it gives you hills to climb and I became a much better climber due to that feature (the Alpe and Ventoux were notable achievements). #2 choice for most purposes including hills would be the Kurt (I have the road machine - very good) because a good trainer gives you the most options, including mindless calorie burning or knee grinding, slow cadence out-of-the saddle hill "simulations." The rollers I have include various resistance settings which simulate the high wattages of hills BUT the thing with hills is they fluctuate in grade and that interacts with your leg muscles (and heart rate) in ways that are not always conducive to keeping on smoothly turning the cranks, which is the main usage for rollers.
I like rollers to finish off your stroke and make you efficient/faster overall, but I view them as a luxury vs. the bread and butter of working on a trainer.
