Hyperion, chargers are a pretty good investment in r/c compared to everything a high quality charger such as a hyperion will hold its value better than anything else.

Between those 2 I'd take the checkpoint.

I'm quite familiar with the TC 1030 , but not the thunderpower. Do you have some specific questions or comparisons about them that are not in the sales literature/manuals?

I got a hyperion AC/DC charger and I love it.

I've heard nothing but good things about hyperion chargers. For about the same price as the thunder chargers, you could get an off-brand version of the hyperion from CBP, with the added benefit of supporting a RCC vendor.
