I like my OEGB's my silkies which aren't really bantamized so much as small and I have my Sebright roo Franklin .D. Roostervelt I hope to one day get D'uccles,Cochins,and EE bantams
I personally prefer broodies...
Pros
You don't need to buy medicated feed
they build up the chicks immunity
you wont need to worry about humidity/temp/power outages
Cons
You can get a bad broodies
less hatching options
one less layer even though it is making more layers
