The only thing I like about sunny side up over the healing pots is that you never get the issue where things are in the way and you can't place the pot down that occurs in GW and GW2. That being said, I prefer the pot options in GW and GW2. I too prefer the animated sun drops from the GW games, and they don't clip through the terrain.
One of my BfN Sunflower builds does use the speed up upgrades in tandem with the upgrade where you take damage and speed up, but I don't use it that much as my other 2 builds are more effective at healing with the branching heal beam and the cocoon upgrade on the other one.
