Potentiometer or Encoder?

We are considering using a potentiometer or an encoder for precise possisioning of our arm. We believe the endocder offers greater precision because of the number of counts per revolution. the potentiometer would be hooked to an arm joint and the digital encoder would be on a gear.

Assuming mounting them is a wash, any other pros or cons anyone can think of?
