I choose pigments for now because my best loves have been with pigments. I do agree they can be a bitch to work with. Some have crazy fallout but it you are patient and take extra time they are versatile, last forever and have wonderful colour payoff when used wet! I agree with liquidsirenhoney when she said she's afraid to use e/s wet for fear of ruining them.
I love the look of pigments/loose powder but I voted for e/s because it's so much easier to use. I should really learn how to press pigments, maybe that's the best of both worlds.
