Winter Trainer

Hi,
For the past few years I have been a 3 season rider, this year I want to maintain riding through the winter.. indoors. So in prep I have cleared out my garage and now I want to source a Turbo Trainer or Rollers. Thing is I know precious little about them as none of my riding mates use them and they don't often get raised as a topic of conversation.
So in short, I would like to know, in general, if a TT or rollers would suit me best. I am guessing rollers promote a better riding style but I am not sure what advantages either one has over the other (e.g. noise, ease of use, effectiveness, training options).
I am also aware that there are different technologies at work with the TT's. Is there anything I should avoid? What kind of money do I have to spend before getting some kit that will be effective and keep me going for a good few winters?
Anyone gone through a similar experience?
Cheers
Mike

turbos suck for anything other than high intensity intervals. rollers feel good to ride but lack the resistance required for high intensity intervals. get both.CAPTAIN BUCKFAST'S CYCLING TIPS - GUARANTEED TO WORK! 1 OUT OF 10 RACING CYCLISTS AGREE!0
