I like quads because they let me do deep laid out super fast down the line turns which is more my style of riding as opposed to vertical off the lip slashes. Quads vs Thruster to me is like what Giant Slalom is compared to Half Pipe.

I like quads because they are fast out of the gate...and, go even faster with rider response...also, because you can do mid-face turns and have the confidence of the grab from two inside sidebiters...great performance in hollow waves...they suck in closer to the face...etc...

They also feel like an extension of the twin-fins that I rode as a kid...my surfboard quiver is split between thruster and quad...but, I also rode Bonzers and even a 5 fin...long before quads became a thang...
