Cartos don't work for dripping very well. You want a dedicated dripping atty.
The H.357 is one of the best and will last many months as long as you take care of it. The dripping attys at Empire mods have gotten good reviews as well.
If you decide to go the rebuildable route the IGO-L is a good beginner dripper.

Hard to make a call on this. If you were a rebuilder, or not opposed to learning how to build coils, I would say it might be hard to beat a single or dual coil rebuildable dripping atty for a damned good vape. If you learn to make good microcoils, which is not hard to do, then you might be able to expect a long life out of your builds. Just replace the cotton or silica every few days to a week, and vape on. you can vape for pennies a month on a good RDA.
On the other side of things, cartos are a fire and forget method, and actually provide excellent vapor and flavor. You can get any resistance from basically sub ohm to upwards of 3 ohms, single or dual coil, solid or punched / slotted for tanking. Best thing about a carto, they are so damned fire and forget. drip em up and vape, drip more when the vapor goes out. When the vapor production drops or the flavor gets crappy, pitch it and use a new one.
Pros and cons? You have the ability to customize your vaping experience far more with an RDA, can alter the resistance on the fly by recoiling, probably have a bit better flavor and vapor overall (although these are subjective things). The downsides are that you have to learn to rebuild with an RDA (I know there are non rebuildables, but what's the point of a dripping atty without the rebuildable portion?) because the RDA is only as good as the wicks and coils you put in it, and there is a learning curve for that sort of thing, although not a huge one. RDA's can get expensive to get nicer hardware, although there are plenty of nice ones for $40 or even less. If your RDA breaks, you get to buy a whole new one.
For cartos, probably the easiest system of retaining an amount of juice there is, just drip until you have enough and vape your brains out. Each unit is cheap, some for less than $1, and the longevity is ususally pretty good; an average carto can be filled and drained at least 8 times before replacement is a must. Availablity of them is high, Boge's are sold all over the web, and they are usually in stock. Can be slotted or punched for use in a tank, if such is desired. The downside? Firstly, cartos are meant mainly to be filled, not dripped, so you would have to use a syringe to get the juice closer to the coil assembly... The carto is the carto is the carto. If you don't like the performance, you have no options other than to get a different type. Cartos can be internally defective from the factory, and refunding on the net sucks. Net cost at $1.50 a carto means that after using 25 of them, you have and will continue to spend more than if you had bought a $40 RDA and a spool of wire, while the RDA will keep rolling on (especially with a micro-coil build) for many more months on a single 100' spool of Kanthal A1, and cotton sources are dirt cheap.
Hope that puts some handles on the question for you, if you need more info, just let us know.
