I think that all of the methods hold a certain appeal. But, for me, I have found that clearomizers are the best way because they are easy to use and hold a good amount of juice.
My favorite for most of the last year has been cartotanks. They have been the most dependable, consistant, durable, and most importantly the most flavorful of juice delivery devices that I've used. They take just a little longer to set up properly, but once they are they generally provide me with an expected level of consistancy. I may get an occassional carto that dies after two days, but that's no worse than getting an occassional clearomizer that does the same.
I've rarely used a clearomizer that I've enjoyed. They just weren't for me. Vivi Nova tanks are pretty good but I've not had the opportunity to use one long term. I've not tried any of the bottom coiled clearos such as the EVOD or Protanks, to be fair.

I prefer boge cartos and a tank. Not the easiest to change flavors in but I generally only vape menthol. If I decide I want to vape something else I have a debridged 510 atty that I direct drip into. It's all a matter of personal preference though. Just get one of each item if you can and try them all. Whichever you like best, keep using them. Save all the other systems incase you want to switch to one later on. Good luck and enjoy experimenting.
So far I've only used a CE4 clearomizer, but I like it a lot.
I've read that citrus and cinnamon juices can crack plastic (polycarbonate) ones and I didn't want to drop $20 on a pyrex clearomizer just yet (but maybe down the road...), so I ordered a couple aluminum cartomizers to try those juices.
I just found out about polypropylene - apparently it's a citrus/cinnamon safe plastic, so that's probably worth looking into if you like those flavors.
I get the impression that other than technical problems like the cinnamon-plastic breakdown that it all just comes down to personal preference.

I'm a fan of carto's. I've been using a DCT for the past few weeks and I love it.
My fav is a pyrex glass tank with a carto, best flavor and dependability in my opinion. I do use a few clearos and they work ok but I either get a plastic taste or you have to watch for burning, so they have their drawbacks but a few puffs are great. I say try them all and decide what is best for you

I love the tank/silica type systems.....I personally hate the taste of carto's and found for me the flavor is best with silica. I am embarking on mesh and rba's so I'll see if I join the hype wagon.

I've tried pretty much every type of clearo, including the Stardusts, the Kangers and the Vivis and never found one I liked. Even though the initial setup is easy, there is generally no consistency in performance or taste, plus a number of other issues like leaking, burning, or not wicking properly. I've recently switched to carto tanks and I'm in heaven. Once you get the hang of it, they are much easier to deal with and the taste is just amazing. So far no experience with rebuildables, but one should be getting delivered next week, so we'll see how that compares.
For best flavor I like rebuildable dripping atomizers.
But factoring convenience, I often use clearos. Especially glass or metal tanks ones, since I sometimes think I pick up a plasticy taste from the plastic ones.

AS you can see, there is no one size fits all answer to this. I think I have seen every juice delivery system loved by some people and hated by others.
My favorites for flavor/vapor are in order:
RBA on a mech mod
Carto tank
eGo 'C' atties
Vivi Nova
Stardust
For dependability:
Carto tank
Vivi Nova
eGo 'C' atties
Stardust
RBA on a mech mod
Overall performance, including things like tank size, maintenance required, convenience, appearance, etc:
Carto tank
Vivi Nova

Excellent summation. I agree with the order in all three categories, although I've never used the eGo atties. From it's high ranking in all three categories, it's no secret why I've preferred using cartotanks as my primary delivery system.

A properly set up Genisis atomizer... With practice of course.
Are they super easy? Not at first
Are they pre-made? Not usually
Are they low maintanence (once one knows what they're doing)? Yes
Are they worth learning? Oh yes
Will they ever get the credit they deserve from the masses? No
Will people's fear of failing, coupled with their dependence on convenience keep them from a truly GREAT vape? Unfortunately, yes.

I'll plug the protank as long as you're 1) using an apv (works ok with my egos tho) 2) into relatively cool, airy vapes. It's tough as nails and easy to fill, clean, repair and work with.
I got a Kanger EVOD and I got to say I'm very unimpressed with it. I'm not sure if it's the e-liquid I have, or the Kanger EVOD itself, but it's just super harsh, even at 6mg nicotine levels. The 12mg stuff I have is practically unusable.
I have my eGo C-twist tuned to the lowest possible voltage (3.3v?) and the throat hit (not sure if I'm using the proper term?) is harsh. If I try taking a deep hit, it actually hurts my throat in a burning sort of way, not like hot cigarettes, but like there's acid burning on the back of my throat.
I ordered two different EVODs, and both of them perform the same. I've put them through "cleaning" cycles, which made the smoke taste "watery," but basically no difference in performance... pretty bummed right now considering I have two of those things (and 5 additional replacement heads)

I like HR attys on my zmax at 12.5 watts when test juices and my diy juices , single coil cartz 2.0 - 2.5 ohms and cobra rebuildable. / like standard and LR attys , single lr cartz on alpha , twist , spinner . kanger pro on either twist or spinner. but I'm sure other stuff out there i havn't tried yet that works good. dual coil cartz seem to plug up fast with me. So many options out there it's hard to judge.
