[Leica] Slides or prints?

[Satish Kumar Krishnamurthy <satishk@tibco.com>]

OK, I hope I am not starting off another contentious debate here :-)

I would like to know what you use/recommend, slides or prints, and what
the advantages and disadvantages of each of these as you see it are.  I
have never used slides (yet), only regular print film (but then, I am no
photography expert).  The research I have done so far (yes, I actually
did search on this before posting!) did not give me as much information
as I would have liked, but seemed to lean towards slides.  Here is a
quote from
www.summitlake.com/COMPUTERS_NET/Slide_Scanning/section_014.html (in
case you were wondering how I got to that page, that was one of the top
links from Google for the search
www.google.com/search?q=photo+slides+prints+advantages+disadvantages):
"Best of all, photography professionals still seem to pretty much agree
that the very best photos are captured on slide film."
Is that right?
