prints vs. slides

[P3D <Cghon@xxxxxxx>]

As a novice in pictorial 3d I am torn between prints and slides.  The latter
I 
can have processed uncut, locally (a 3 hour service,) and mount them myself,
while Kodacolor negatives have to be sent to Grand Photo in MN for their
print
pairs as I cannot find a local lab that understands my request for 40 single-
frame prints centered on 3 1/2x5s, and which I'd trim and mount myself. 
(Grand Photo charges $28 for a 24 roll of 20 stereo pairs, and you wait a
couple of weeks for the results.)  Also, being 2nd generation images, you're
at the mercy of their print quality.  However, I enjoy viewing the prints in
one 
of the antique stereo viewers I collect.  What is your recommendation?
Opinions would be greatly appreciated in "prints vs. slides."
