They are both fine when they are new.
Over time the belt drive will need another belt, so if you buy used, you buy the direct drive.
I used to sell both, both are good units.

underneath the turntable there is a belt looks like a rubberband, motor turns belt/turns table. Direct drive is gears to gears drive on turn table both run on servo/integrated drive motors for speed, linear turntables are the best, mine has a belt drive, but if your going to slip like a rapper get the belt and some spare belts unless your turntable is altered for slipping and a linear is useless for slipping, diamond stylus last 10 times longer than sapphire. not knowing your purposes
