Closer Examination
Well, it's a pretty simple thing, really. The Deathbot is always going to outdo the Force Field in damage (sometimes by quite a significant amount), but the Force Field has a MUCH higher luck total. So which do you want? Damage or luck?
Some people don't quite know what Luck does. Luck allows the hunter to capture a mouse, regardless of difficulty. Really strong mice, such as a leprechaun or a mobster are really only caught through luck. Without luck, you can't catch those strong mice. However, it's not reliable- luck doesn't always work and doesn't work anywhere near as often as power does.
On the other hand, if your power is high enough, you can capture mice with sheer power. It's a faithful way to get mice; there's a reason that better traps tend to have higher power. However, no luck means that if you come across a mouse that's too much for your trap to handle, you will never catch it.
Again, it's all preference. The reason that most people pick the forcefield is that given where it is used (primarily in the Lab thus far), the power is more than sufficient, while the extra luck helps to catch a certain difficult mouse that can be found in the lab.
