My preference is to use Events so I can attach photos and/or documents specific to the event or time frame. I intend to eventually use Legacy created web pages to update my web site (once I get everything setup) and this will allow photos and documents to be mixed with text throughout a person's page. Another advantage to Events over Notes is that you can see at a glance what you have (or what you are missing) for a person.
