FTM vs Ancestry -- which is easier/better for updating tree

Hello

Question for anyone who wants to offer their input. I currently use FTM 2010 (can update at any time). Plus I have 2 prior versions of my tree uploaded to Ancestry. I notice some minor differences between updating the trees in both locations. In Ancestry if I do an update especially with the "hints" I can ignore a hint. I'm not sure I can do that in FTM. But for reports and all that FTM is better

like right now I'm logged into Ancestry so its telling my total # of hints available. but FTM doesnt do that. I have to go person to person from what I've noticed. But if I work in Ancestry then I"m not updating FTM and vice versa

Just wondering what other do. do you upload your FTM file to Ancestry like once a year with updates as you continue. do you work primarily in one system or the other.

thanks, Suzanne
