I think there are some special cases when the kit is better. Eg: Dim kits - you will never find the same color floss as was in the kit or when the fabric is painted. I have all DMC color, if I love an Anchor kit, cheaper to buy the kit than buy all floss.
Anyway usually I use pattern only. :D

In all honesty its easier to use a pattern with a website like this available to us.

And also, if you dont like Aida, your kit choices are limited, at least in normal stores where I am.

I prefer patterns, kits can be too expensive.

I also prefer patterns, I can choose the fabric and threads.

I prefer kits - with evenweave fabric:)

I prefer to get patterns, but if I see a nice kit on sale I get it. They just have so much extra thread and way more fabric then I would normally use if I cut it myself. Most of my sewing become things rather then framed, I do not need the edges so wide. To compensate I figure the bottom left and normally wind up with enough extra to sew a   bracelet. :)

Patterns. I get to choose what kind of fabric Im going to use.

+100. My opinion too.

I never buy kits anymore.I have found that there can be errors in fabric size provided, or the amount of floss or other fibers included.I think the kit makers throw them together as cheaply as possible, and it shows.
