Levi, As Georg said, this is a flame war topic, and one with no answer, so it's best kept off this list. I urge you to google "fixed fluid better" and read the different opinions out there. I don't think we have a wiki page on this topic collecting the different viewpoints, but anyone is welcome to make one and link it from the front page of the wiki.
