I would like to hear the general consensus w.r.t these 2 trade packages. I generally only trade warrants but am keen to look into SSF's. Give me your comments please.....which is the better option and why?

It depends on how risk averse you are. With SSF you must be prepared to loose more than you put in. Happened to me, if you forget your stop losses, then it can run away. I sold HAR short, forgot to put in stop losses, and ended up loosing the full amount. WIth warrants, the most it can go to is zero. It all depends on your risk aversion. Both have time decay, one less agressive than the other.
