Andy,

We use a Rain-flo waterwheel with two wheels on it and four seats.

The pros: simple, very adjustable, best--you get to hand set each plant 
in, feel the soil, be down at ground level. You don't have any misses 
unless you are totally asleep.

The cons: waterwheels get all gunked up on bare soil and need to be 
scraped every 600 feet or so, depending on conditions and how much of 
control freak you are. Probably much slower than a carousel/gripper type 
planter.
