better teacher pension plan?

Starting a new job at a school and need to decide between the Public Employment Retirement System (PERS) or State of NJ Teachers' Pension & Anunuity Fund. All this drama with our governer and changed NJ laws is making it difficult to choose. Anyone have ideas which plan is better for the long run? Thanks!

1. Try stopping into your school system's HR office - they might be able to give you some good advice. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the HR staff in my school could explain the differences between all kinds of different benefits choices, and they actually seemed like they were glad people were asking and were happy to explain all of it.
