Metal heddles vs Texsolve heddles

I've seen a lot of discussion on the weaving lists recently on the relative merits of inserted eye (wire) heddles, flat metal heddles, and Texsolve heddles. But nobody yet seems to have just said, "It depends." On what does it depend? Whether you need the weight (as with a jack loom), need the non-weight (as with a portable loom), or just plain like a certain kind. I'll confess, I like the flat wire heddles because that is what my Baby Wolf came with and that's what I am used to. My weaving friend, here in town, swears by inserted eye, wire heddles. Funny thing, that is what her first loom came with and that is what she ordered for her second.
