I've been trained by SDI and what I've heard and experienced is that SDI emphasizes and in fact requires diving with computers with their open water certification. They do teach tables, but it is given short shrift and the level of table competency is instructor dependent. I am happy with this emphasis but could do tables if needed by referring to my training book which does include a table explanation section.
I've heard that PADI deemphasizes computer diving with respect to SDI. I've talked with instructors who've done both and most slightly prefer SDI as it is more up-to-date with current technology. Overall all though, it's your choice and as a number have said, your choice of instructor is most important.
