Hey Duff,
Also check out: Tech 21 Fly Rig and Boss AD10 get lots of love from folks. Also check out Zoom as they've always got something in the multi fx area.
FWIW, I've tried none of these so do your HW: check out reviews online (try a search on
thegearpage as that is a very active board of gearheads and live players) as well as youtube, of course.
Personally, I'd go with indiv stompers on a small pedalboard. This way you have
complete control over what fx you want, each individual parameter, or swap em when another better option arises. All this, and not having to deal with scrolling through menus and such as each fx box is its own discrete unit. Overall, this kind of "modular" approach to a pedal system gives you ultimate control over variety of tones, and this over time which is a way of "future proofing" your rig.
On the other side, the obvious advantage of having a single multi fx is compact size and
host of tonal options you have at your feet. So if you envision yourself using the myriad tonal options and having multiple patches at your call, this is the better choice. But if don't need presets at the ready and simply want to use effect x, y, or z on occasion, I say consider the pedal board and choose yer own.
That said, I'd also put the lion's share of your focus on the quality of the
DI section of said box.
No effects box is worth diddly if it doesn't offer you good control over shaping your acoustic guit's tone which is of
primary importance, IMO and experience. So to this latter point, consider a DI with a
genuinely good tone stack with sweep EQs like a Fishman PlatPro, Baggs Venue, Radial Tonebone, and the like. All of which are pricey
because they have higher-quality preamps and focus on the tone, and your ability to shape that tone beyond a couple of knobs.
Many ways to address this goal. This is my acoustic board, just for your consideration
