Gates or Valves

Hey, I have seen this exact question before but did not take the time to read it

. When I plumb my fuge and sump what is the best choice between ball valves and gate valves? Which gives you more control? Thanks Brandon.

Gate valves give you much more precision than a ball valve but cost 3x more...
