[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]which one do you recommend for this upcoming Spring?

Lay out your reasons.

Presumably the goal here is video intended for scouting, coaching, and/or personal use.

There are really three parts to having useful video, collecting it (with sufficient quality), clipping or indexing it (so ppl don't have to watch the whole game), and serving it (storing and presenting).

VEO is a camera system for automatic (unattended, or guided) filming of games. Solves parts 1 and 3, but does no indexing or clipping to my knowledge.

HUDL is a video indexing service in which you load your video, index it to identify players, events, or whatever. It allows players to easily compile their video clips, coaches to assemble video sequences for instruction, etc. Solves parts 2 and 3, but you are on your own for video collection. Has a pretty good following for football and baseball, but is losing ground for soccer to the other services out there.

TRACE is a system that attempts to combine an automatic filming system with a bot that automatically indexes the video to present players with all their video "moments" (touches really). Solves parts 1,2,3.  Pretty good network of scouts like it. A great idea that suffers from a number of issues that can make it a frustrating solution.

INSTAT is an automatic stat collection system that analyzes uploaded video, automatically indexes it, and does detailed analysis on player performance. Solves parts 2 and 3.  Easily the most comprehensive and accurate indexing service. Has a large following in pro soccer, and growing rapidly into elite youth soccer area.

If money is no obstacle, hire a professional to collect your video for best quality, load it to INSTAT, and get a subscription there. None of these systems can match what a professional video guy can do for you.

If you want a more automated solution, I would recommend VEO+HUDL (more control over clips), or better VEO+INSTAT which will automatically put your player on the radar to scouts if he/she is talented.
