Please Help Me Understand Switches

Hello everyone!

I am hoping some of you can help me increase my knowledge about various types of switches.

The switch types I am wondering about are:

-Press for momentary, twist for constant, like in the Surefire EDC series
-Forward clicky
-Reverse clicky
-Electronic
-Twist on/off
-Rotary, like in some of the HDS models

I am wondering what the advantage of each is, what the drawbacks are, and which type is the most durable/long lasting.

I also am curious which type everyone prefers and why?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Not sure we need a duplicate thread on this.
