Pirinha is what I now use after a add on toothbar years ago and a RatchetRake for many, many years and the Pirinha is the best digger and makes picking up stuff easier as well and brush clearing. Also two bolts with nuts easy and quick off.:2cents:

I've got a 66" wicked grapple coming so don't need a Piranha Tooth Bar. Just a plain old tooth bar for digging up clay.

I got mine from a company called Rankin. They are a local WA company. There are eight teeth spaced across a six foot bucket. Purchased - 10/2010 - $395. It's heavy duty in the extreme. There has GOTTA be a good company closer to you there in Florida.

Ah, Ha - - finally found the picture.

Of the two you mention, I would go with the Construction Attachments $656 10 teeth 120lbs.
Heavier duty and shorter spacing between the teeth. I also think a plain old tooth bar is best when it comes to digging, although I could see where a Piranha bar would be more versatile when it came to clearing brush.

Of course, I may be a little biased. A Construction Attachments tooth bar is just what I have on my 72" bucket.

84'' is a skid steer size. I'd drop by any local Bobcat (or any "color") dealer and see what they got. The heavy one's I've had all had heavy cast "covers" that pin on just like the big toy's and usually use a real backhoe part that's standard industry wide.

Tried a bolt in regular toothbar on another bucket. Wasn’t impressed that much. It improved hard ground digging but poor performance on ditch cleaning and brush/tree removal. Took it off and it has stayed off. Welded on a special order Piranha bar on well worn bucket. Flat out amazing performance on Kubota M59. My pick for a multipurpose toothbar.

As I've said not interested in Piranha bar, which is trying to make your bucket into root rake, for that I have wicked grapple. I interested in tooth bar for digging clay and removing flint rock that pops up in the clay.
