The ER's are much better at holding your tools centered and you don't have to beat your tools out of the ER collets. The one DA collet I use has a fly cutter in it all the time... I get my collets new at MSC and get my holders from e bay... I use the AF collets which are similer to the ER's only because it is what fits my holders.
Do you want me to send you the couple of DA collets I'm not using? They are just taking up space in my tooling drawers...
