V drive vs a Direct drive

Looking to buy my first wakeboard boat and cant choose between a VD or DD.
I have always been towed behind a DD but want to step up my game this year.
Would rather a VD, I am coming across more DD in my price range.
On the other hand my fiance, is new to the sport so will a VD wake be to much for her or will she make out with a boat that has a wake plate?
Also I have been looking at used Tige 21V and 22V's, and opinions on these boats?
Would I be happy just boarding behind a Tige with the hull and wake plate technolgy that they claim and not have to use ballast systems?
For a Intermediate boarder.

Thanks for any comments

I'd go v-drive so you have what you want. You can lower the weighting to make the wake smaller for beginners.
