Bike carbs and MJ or bike TBs and MS?

I'm planning to buy the bits to fit my 1.8 Zetec soon.

I can't decide whether to go for carbs or Throttle bodies.

The carb route would be a bit cheaper and I have more of an idea of what I'm doing with carbs.

I do quite fancy TBs though.

Recommendations / experiences welcomed!

Thanks

Stu

It has to be injection every time...

Whilst carbs can do a fine job, a well set up engine on injection will be far superior to drive during part throttle -especially if you want to look at tuning it at a later date. And, daft as it sounds, easier to set up too!

And often cheaper. Bike tb's are still cheap, and due to the increased use of bike crabs, can be cheaper and more available. Otherwise, what ^^^^ said.
