I am thinking of upgrading my 1198si to a newer model, what is the differences and better between the onix and helix models? only running 1 unit at helm not using one at bow and helm.

ONIX is more customizable ...
ONIX comes in touch version ...
HELIX 12 is widescreen format ...

I wondered which one is best and clearest for the down and side imaging, I really enjoy the side and down imaging the most. I think all are max of 150' on di and si.

ONIX has a dedicated DI piezo for true dedicated DI imaging ...
HELIX does not have a dedicated DI piezo ...and computer generates the DI image from the SI data just like all othe HB core Series SI units in the past ...

Some say ONIX SI is better than core units - some say ONIX SI is about the same as core units ...
-----
Maximum SI Range is dependent in large part by the water depth and bottom composition being scanned ...(hard bottoms reflect Sonar much more efficiently than soft bottoms) ...
