      Definitly a duplicate of tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/…

      Also rather subjective and without a definite answer (except if someone does a large-scale study). You might want to ask a more specific question.

      The nice thing about this question is that someone has done a large-scale study, as can be seen by following the link.

    You could add that answer to the already existing question (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/…) as this one will probably be closed rather soon.

    The two questions have very different answers, and so can't be duplicates of each other.
