How to choose open vs closed basement system

We are having our basement waterproofed and have had 4 different companies come in, all of whom say their system is the best. Some tell us that if the pipes are too low the water will undermine the footings.... others tell us that the open system will increase our humidiy and create a potential radon problem. We aren't sure what to do...

Is there a company that works well with high water table issues? Is it better to get a closed system than an open system? Do any of the magic wall-sealing compounds actually work?

Thanks so much for your input....
