Round or Long Knifty Knitter Looms - Which is Better?

I'll admit, I am partial to the round looms. Why? Knitting on them flows better. When working a circular piece of knit, you never have to stop and work back the other way across the loom. You just continue knitting in a counter-clockwise motion until it's finished. No awkward edges to work around as with the long looms.

If you are working a flat piece of knit, you can still use a round loom. Just leave an opening between two pegs and work back and forth. The knitting will still be smoother than knitting with a long loom, because you don't have to work around the corners of the loom.
