I generally prefer agencies, even though I have seen a good number of Independents. The reason is you only get verified once and then you have the ability to see many diffrent girls over the course of months or even years.

Indies.

Because you deal directly with the girl. No bookers, phone girls, or even pimps. And their prices are more reasonable than an agency.  

I generally like more mature providers because I connect with them better. I think there are more independent mature providers than the agency’s have

A good agency is great for last minute decisions in that they usually have someone available.  If you become the regular of an independent, you are treated to outstanding service and delightful surprises.   (Unfortunately, I had a independent FBSM lady who I visited for 5 years who recently retired.)   Of course, in the end, it is the particular lady that matters and not the employment arrangement.  

Today, I prefer independents.  They oftentimes provide a more personal service (or at least it feels that way), and their donations tend to be a bit lower.  But the main reason is that it's easier to suspend disbelief when you're dealing with one person the whole time, rather than a scheduling service like you're calling a business office.

Although, early on in my hobby, independents used to shy away from me.  I don't know if it was because I was in my early 20's, or because I was a newbie, but that was my experience.  So the only way for me to break into the hobby was through agencies.  Fortunately, most of my agency experiences were nothing short of excellent.

Independent and mature. Mature women always understand about passion. Dealing with an independent keeps the business between you two and is more personal.
