Wanting to buy me a GPS system for fertilizing , weed spraying and army worm battles, anybody use either one of these systems? And if so what are your likes and dis-likes?

Raven CruiserII. Works great, easy to use. Use it for everything, planting, fertilizing, spraying, tillage etc.

What type of autosteer are you using and how good is the accuracy?

Just me. No other accessories are added on to Raven. I purchased it when I bought a sprayer with 30 foot booms. No way was I going to free hand that. When we would fertilize hayfields it was a pain trying to guess the next 50' pass. With raven it took all the stress out of fertilizing, now you just sit back and drive and the added benefit is I can spread at night now. For "free" accuracy it is great. It does loose signal under trees so if I have trees on the ends of fields I am planting I don't use it but for spraying you don't see what few skips you may get.

Okay, I wasn't sure whether the guidance without autosteer would be accurate enough for planting. My only experience with autosteer was pulling a batwing mower where it was very handy but, in reality, unnecessary.

I could see where GPS guidance would sure be handy even for spraying a lawn. Sounds silly, but even for fertilizing it would be very useful. I've seen at least one zero turn mower that had a guidance option but don't recall the brand.
