Aside from the military/civilian thing, which do you prefer?

My first 8yder, bought a over a decade ago, was to stripe. The shopkeeper taking the measurements didn't ask what weight I wanted or how I wanted it pleated. It wasn't an issue. Back then, most of the kilts you saw on the band members at the Alma games were to stripe.

While most of my kilts since have been to some version of sett, when I look at pics of that first kilt I'm thinking I really like stripe.
