H4s or replacement 7 inchers - what do you guys like?

I was reading the thread about bulbs, and wondered which replacement headlight most people out there like, H4s or the seven-inch style which don't alter the appearance of the 911 front. And what are the advantages of H4s over the replacement lights, or vice versa.

Thanks.

I prefer the look of the H4s, plus they are more powerful and you can choose the wattage.
