To me that is a NO brainer.
Unless I'm building a high-speed, low-torque, application with a low chance of stalling the motor (say, a "shooting wheel" as used in 2006 and 2009 by many teams), I definitely agree with JVN. CIMs are simply much more reliable and a better fit for most FRC applications than a FP.

Also, I <3 globes. My favorite motor in the kit for non-drive applications, without a doubt.
