Dura ace or Formula lockring...

I have both and have to choose which to put on a Formula hub. Which one is the better of the two? Does it really matter?

DA is better. My formula lockring has been fine. If you're changing cogs a lot and removing and re-installing the ring, definitely use the DA. If you're installing a cog and leaving it there, use either, just clean the threads and grease before you install it.
