schrader valves over presta valves

I was hesitant to change to presta valves but upgraded to tubeless and had no choice but to switch I found presta valves from chain reaction cycles that have a built in core remover (nukeproof) and got 2 spare adaptors that screw on so you can use a schrader pump attachment that I carry with me if riding so either way its easy to to put air in if needed as I also use a compressor if at home it makes the job easier , But in saying that since going tubeless I dont have the normal aggravation of puncturing tubes like most things different people different preferences do what suits you most . But I have to say tubeless is my preference now.
