This is a very good question and one that deserves a lot of attention. I prefer the TX-22 myself but do run the walleye boards when I need an extra board or 2.
Just to clear up a question that keeps popping up about Tru-Trip 40 deep divers and small boards. I pull them behind Church Tackle TX-22 in-line boards and have had no issues with them! I also pull them behind the walleye boards with no issues. I have also ran them behind the TX-44 Church boards which would handle the Tru-Trip 50's with ease, but you need a dipsy type rod to handle the hard pulling TX-44's and they are much harder to read than the TX-22 boards.
I fish Harnesses, spoons and the J7 Rapala's behind the TX-22 boards and Tru-Trip 40's at GPS speeds up to 2.5 mph (ground speed). I do think Tru-Trip 40's pull harder than a Jet 40 but there is also at least 2 benefits to that.
They have a steeper dive curve (more depth sooner with shorter leads) and also the Tru-Trips makes the board squat in the rear some, enough that you can see it from the boat but does not interfere with the boards operation! The benefit to this squatting is that when a fish trips the diver the board will start pulling in a more level position making it easier to read the boards and determine if the diver has been tripped, once tripped the diver has to be reset small fish dragging along or not.
Here is a thread discussing and addressing some of your questions.
