I really can't say what is the preferred bed. I'm a total noob to all of this and it's all a big experiment. That's why I did one ebb and flow bed and one wicking bed. We'll see what works best.

My guess is wicking bed for most stuff. Plants naturally grow in soil, so wicking beds seem obvious. Some plants do better in ebb and flow or even raft beds (lettuce), so I'll go with that for them. For example, my basil grows so fast in the ebb and flow bed that I'm trying to give some away, so I guess it likes it there.
