Lifestraw Vs. Sawyer Mini

Which is the better filter, /out/?

Lifestraw claims to filter out 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoa. It claims it can be used to filter up to 1000 L of water, and has been field tested for years in pretty harsh environments like Africa and other shitholes.

The Sawyer mini claims to filter 99.99999% of all bacteria and 99.9999% of all protozoa. I did not see a total lifetime listed for the mini, so I assume it is good for at least as many liters as the Lifestraw. The Sawyer claims the pore size in its filters is 0.1 microns, which I'm assuming is similar, if not smaller than the pore size of the filter in the Lifestraw (because the Sawyer claims to filter more protozoa).

So which do you trust more, /out/? Which is the superior filter?
