OPKs: digital or strip?

OK so I've used the strips for maybe 4 or 5 cycles (not the most recent ones), and I always feel so unsure of them. There were probably two times when I saw the lines and felt sure that it was positive, but the rest of the time I didn't feel very secure.  How confident are you guys with the digital? the strips? Cost wise the digital seems like it could make more sense if you have a more predictable O range. I'm just not sure. What are your thoughts ladies?

    I go with digitals cause I don't want to deal with second guessing myself all the time. 

    the only time I wonder about the digi is when I've had too much liquid or I worry that I just miss the surge, but that would happen regardless of what type I was using.

    I use wondfo cheapies, and when I get what I think is a + on them, I double check with a digital.

    If I used only digitals with my long @ss cycles, we'd be broke!!

    This is my first time using OPKs and I used only the strips.  I was able to see clearly a positive one versus a negative, espcially since i was charting my temp.  I think in advance. maybe I would use digi's, but it would be if I can decipher the strips.

    I use the strips and then when it is close or I think it is positive, I confirm with a digital.

    I just use the strip internet cheapies.  I start around CD 10 even though I don't usually O until 10 days later.  Doing it for that long gives me a good idea of what the different results look like.  When I get a positive, there's no denying it's positive.  I've spent a lot of time on FF looking at the galleries of +OPKs.
