When trad climbing, do you prefer to carry your protection on a shoulder sling or your harness?

well...what do you like...this has been debated and flamed enough but I don't care for it except in chimneys and some but not all dihedral. I rack on my harness from small to big front to back...with like 8 different brands. if i am climbing something that is predominately left or right facing I try and put more gear away from the wall...but what do I know, Steph Davis racks on a sling and loves it. she sends hard trad all day everyday.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
