Why not both? I usually try to carry 3 methods of starting a fire; Bics, Zippo(spare fuel/wick/flints), sparky stick(s)(BSA model are cheap), and water resistant strike anywhere matches in an waterproof match safe. And some flammable tinder.

Me too! Starting a fie is too important to leave to one method. I remember reading "to build a fire" when I was a kid, and it left an impression. Well, that and USAF Arctic Survival School at minus 42 degrees. I ALWAYS carry at least three sources of fire when I leave the truck. Always.
