trolling motor mount
pros:
*easy to strap to trolling motor
*if you move your TM from boat to boat, the transducer comes with you
cons:
*easy to smash on whatever you normally smash your trolling motor into (rocks/logs/etc)
*only in the water when your TM is in the water
transom mount
pros:
*stays in the water all the time
*only sticks about an inch out below the hull
*works while you run the main motor
cons:
*slightly more complicated installation
since you say you will be out on the D, i'd suggest you go with a transom mount to protect it from all the rocks
