I run a combination of styles. Dirt moms for ease of maintenance and safety in caase of power failure. Hydroton ebb n flow SOG for production. Moms may be moved to hydroton vertical NFT soon to cut down on dirt disposal over the winter. DWC would be for a med grower limited by plant count, and living in an area where dirt dipsosal is difficult.

Your style will eventually match your grow area and the amount of time and money you like to put into initial setup vs. long term maintenance.
