Sand vs. Barebottom?

[ocean diver]

I have had both BB and sand bottom and they both have pros and cons. A Bare Bottom (BB) is a lot easier to keep clean and to suck up any debris during water changes, but lacks a little in appearance, also limits on some animal you can have that need sand. Sand bottom has the nice natural look to it but can collect debris in it but is home to many animals that need the sand. So I think it comes down to personal preference.
