Lake Stevens's big trout population is a good example of fry plants being the better option imo. Those fish are firm in the meat and tasy. Not to mention those fish fight a lot harder than catchable or jumbo triploid planted fish. I hit a 3lb '90s out of Stevens that spooled my ultra light setup twice before I could get it to the net, never had a planter of any size take more 10yds of line on a run.
