I have used both within 100 metres of the sea.  The AWP has been very 
prone to rust but the Proven is galvanised throughout.  The latest 
AWP36 with stainless steel tail should be much better than the early 
models.

I do not recommend using the high voltage AWP in a marine 
environment.  Stator insulation can be an issue, or has been in the 
past.
