I prefer tubes. My favorite palette is Mijello with 33 wells. I squeeze my tube paints to those wells. This palette allows me to pick up more paint with bigger brushes, which is important when I paint something bigger. This palette is also lighweight, so I can take it with me anywhere. I also have a metal box with pans (24), but I used it earlier when I was more interested in botanical painting. Pans are good for botanical painting, because you only need small drops of color. For my regular painting, however, pans are too small.
