What are the pros and cons of the different basecallers in Oxford Nanopore Technology Sequencing?

What are the pros and cons of the different basecallers in Oxford Nanopore Technology Sequencing?
Depending on your local system I'd suggest to run the MinION without local basecalling, and perform basecalling later using Albacore on server/cluster. That will keep storage requirements on your ...
