I like both. I think a manual safety is more useful but I think decockers are just cool. Bonus points for berettas allowing all of the above. Striker fire no safety’s have their place as well but I’m leaving them out. What do you prefer?
 
I prefer a manual safety as typically that means it’s SAO, a consistent trigger pull each time, and when I’m ready to fire and need to fire it’s the same and also not much movement or work to fire fast and accurately. DA/SA and decockers are fine, my first handgun was a P226 and I loved that thing, but I just prefer manual safeties.
 
Manual Safety for me since I'm used to guns like 1911 and Hi Powers

It's actually a bit strange for me when my thumb isn't resting on the manual safety
 
None of the above.

Of the guns that you'd most likely have to pry from my cold dead hands, LEM is the most probable. After that a striker fired sans safety. After that, DAO.

If I had to choose from the two available options, it would be DA/SA with a decocker.
