Tradeoffs of 4-sw buck/boost VS SEPIC

Hello,
In an application requiring 50W or less output power (Vin = 6V - 16V, Vout = 10V, Iout_max = 5A), what are the tradeoffs of using a 4-sw buck/boost versus a SEPIC topology? Which is better in terms of:

  • Efficiency
  • Noise/EMI
  • Stability and loop response

Thanks, TT
