RE: Hinge type preference...?
I'd rather install CA hinges, fly and repair pinned Nylon and look at Robart hinge points.
Most of my models have CA hinges (I get the good ones from Bennett Built) but I have one on the bench now using removable brass pinned hinges. I flight I notice no difference. But if you ever want to re-cover or repair the removable hinges make life better.
