    Hall Effect or Proximity Sensor, What's best?

    Might be a simple answer for some, but I just can't wrap my head around this. As I understand, a hall effect unit works on a magnetic signal applied in the proper location and polarity to either open the switch or close the switch and a proximity works much the same but is activated with a piece if iron or steel and depending upon the sensor opens or closes the switch.

    I want to know if I can replace a currently used double throw double pole rocker/toggle switch with one of the above.

    Thanks in advance.
