I use the trigon on both of my suits, it’s been great with one precaution, when you rinse it don’t over pressure it as that tends to screw with the balancing valve, if it doesn’t seal you will be washing your undies. It’s simple to take the valve apart for cleaning, inspection and making sire the valves are working properly. The LM I’m familiar with has a manual bolt type valve and is pretty fool proof, toss a coin as you’ll likely have more issues with the catheter than the valve.

Which Light Monkey? There are 3 versions. Balanced and unbalanced with the bolt and the tinkle with a knob.
I don't like the bolt, had one on my last suit. You need to store it (so you can close the hole in case of a problem). Dead simple.
Current suit has the Trigon. It leaked. I glued the inner check valve down and added an inline balancing check valve. then found it was recalled so they sent a new balancing check valve and housing. It leaked worse than the original design. Never heard back from Sitech when I complained. Put my old glued together and external balance valve on and been running it that way.
Next suit will be a tinkle valve.

it would be the fourth element balanced light monkey
Light Monkey Balanced tinkle valve with Qd is what I use. No dramas at all....so far.
The Halcyon is also well regarded
