We have both VAN customers and AS2. I generally lean towards VANs if the customer doesn't explicitly require AS2 or if they're lower volume simply because of the way we're billed. We pay by seat license for AS2 and I believe it's by character block for VAN which is cheaper for the smaller customers. Generally, I setup lots of VAN customers and my bill doesn't change, so I stick with that when I can. If I didn't have such a healthy disdain for FTP (changing passwords @[EMAIL PROTECTED]) I would probably lean that way =).
To answer your question, without trying to be vague... it depends. If all of our customers were high volume customers then I would probably lean towards AS2. Again though, it all depends on how you're billed and what sort of trading partner break down you have.

EDI. Is it in fact cheaper to use AS2? I have been told that it is more complicated that is why people prefer Traditional EDI if they have the choice. Also true?
