The VT Pro or The Atom both with wireless transmitters.

Can't decide which one would best suit my needs, the VT Pro has a bigger
display but only does nitrox to 50% where as the Atom goes to 100% O2. Both
will gas switch 3 mixes. Any advice would be appreciated

Based on only the above info, I would go for the one with the bigger
display.

Neither?

Most people I know, when they get to the point where they need to switch
mixes more than once, have progressed beyond the point where a computer is
the right tool for the job. Same goes for those that use 100% oxygen for
decompression purposes. Other than that, think through the three gases you
think you will use with the computer and get whatever best fits that
decision.
