Would you rather plate your cylinder or sleeve it and why?

About a year or so ago, I asked this same question. I sent my cylinder to Millenium Technologies for replating.
They did an excellent job. They strip it all down and replate it, they also give you the option to buy a piston from them. They will match that piston to the cylinder.
In the end, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the replate.

For all the reasons stated above I would plate. I do have some sleeved cylinders, but these are on big bores and the skirt gets thin when you bore it so in those instances I use sleeves. A plated cylinder will far outlast a sleeved cylinder 1 for 1.

Brute:
Plate. Reasons have been covered.
