That would depend on who are you trying to make happy. If you are concerned or getting complaints from the passenger you need to first determine: Wife complaining? Get Sundowner. Girlfriend complaining? Get new girlfriend or Daytripper.

My passengers like the Sundowner. the driver section is very comfy. I don't like the size of the passenger pillon, but it serves a purpose. It is usually covered by my saddle roll anyway.

I just received a Daytripper for my -07. I did really like the Sundowner (had one on my '01 Superglide) but I agree, the passenger pillon was a little large, and I wanted a seat that flowed more with the curves of the bike. The Daytripper looks really good, well crafted, and less than 2" thin. Ill mount it on Saturday and post with some follow-up pics and thoughts.

I put a sundowner on for my wife with the intentions of changing it out when I ride alone, after riding with the sundowner I was so comfortable that I still have it on. Yea the passenger pillon looks a little big but wow the comfort is what its all about.

I have a Daytripper on my 2005. The Daytripper is sleek, the Sundowner is comfortable. Some will argue that the Daytripper is comfortable, but they are really each in a different category of seats. Some will argue that the Sundowner looks great, but those... well, nevermind.
The rear passenger seat on a Daytripper for a 2005 Dyna is exactly 3" thick in the center section. That does not mean that the padding is 3" thick. It's 3" overall... seat pan, padding, cover, etc.
If you choose the Daytripper, mine is for a 2004-2005 and I'll make you a great deal on it.
The seat looks awesome, but I decided I want a great big badonkadonk butt seat with a backrest.

RE: sundowner or daytripper
Here is another vote for the Sundowner. It is thick and real comfortable on a long ride and the wife insists on this! Sure it is kinda goofy looking, but this is one of those questions-style or comfort. As for style, I already own the Street Bob !! I do swap back and forth with a stock solo seat...but the sundowner makes the miles smooth and momma happy!

RE: sundowner or daytripper
I like my Sundowner for the comfort. I agree its a bit large, but I was looking for comfort for my butt and my wife. Most of the time I cover the passenger seat with stuff. Its your call, if you can, take a look at them in person and sit on them. Only you know what will feel right for you.
