<p>I am really puzzled that this question received no response, it does not seem to be a difficult question, it is simply asking for the opinion of when to use one method over another. Is this because it is a dumb question (very possibly), or hard to answer (perhaps in depth, but I would be grateful for any insights), or is it somehow off topic? </p>

<p>I just want to know because I really thought this was the place to ask it. </p>
