    There is only one current Helix 10 MEGA DI unit and it comes with a transom transducer. There is a trolling motor puck version transducer also with the same performance.

    There is a Helix 9 version and Helix 12 version with the same transducer/s.

    Complete models names:
    Helix 9 CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G2N
    Helix 10 CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G2N
    Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G2N

    Each successive model size has a higher pixel density display and larger display.

    All three units have Low-Q Dual Spectrum 2D CHIRP sonar @ 140-240 kHz.
    All three units have three Imaging frequencies---455/800/1200 kHz and their CHIRP ranges.

    Are the transducers that come with them the best or are they better ones.

    There currently are no better DI transducers. The transom MEGA DI transducer is larger than the standard DI transducer:
