One important difference with Landpride is the diameter of the fan.
16" with Landpride and 24" with Everest.
Forget performance based upon diameter and think pto joint angles.
The closer you can get your pto joints to have a minimal angle when working, i.e. blower on the ground, the longer the U joints will last.
Check the height of your 6060's pto shaft above ground. I expect it will be greater than 16".
A pto joint angle of 5 degrees has an estimated life of 450 hrs. A pto joint angle of 25 degrees has an estimated life of 20 hours.
The overall weights of the two blowers are similar which is always a good indicator of quality.

The attachment of the 3 pt lower arms to the blower is important. A design where the pin sticks out from the frame of the blower for you to slide your arm over is a weak design. A heavy tractor will work the pins loose and bend them. The better design sees the arm secured between two pieces of the blower frame
