Default Block

Block 1
Poured 2
Stick 3

Block is the clear winner. If you have a hip roof even better. Block has an advantage over poured because it has air pockets within the blocks themselves. Better insulation and it is slightly more soundproof. I like precast, but I have seen progressive collapse issues. We don’t live in an earthquake zone, but it would be the last type I would care to be in if one hit. I prefer the continuity check offered by block construction.
