PPs need to be brushed regularily, they matt easily.
Some hairless do have acne, although mine doesn't.
Hairless will also need clothes in the winter.
Hairless are harder to buy, breeders tend to keep hairless more because they generally do better in the show ring.

I like the look of the hairless one better. They're so cute! But you have to use moisturizers on the skin and they can have bad acne...so you may have to "pop" some zits for them. Also, they don't age very well...If you look at some of the dogs who are running for "ugliest dog," many of them are chinese cresteds. http://www.sonoma-marinfair.org/uglydogvote.shtml
They just don't age well. They get wrinkles and stuff.
But when they're younger, they're so adorable!

Powderpuffs are cute, too...but if I were going to get a chinese crested (and I've thought about it), I'd get a hairless one. They look better to me and have that unique characteristic of the breed.

I think the powderpuff ones are so cute! Plus, they do have some hair, so they can keep warm without requiring a sweater.

If you want a lot of grooming, get a PP. If you want to shave a dog like your leg, and possibly give it acne treatments, get a hairless.

...i don't like them, but you can look on google and find images of each breed, choose the one you like better!
(ps.powerpuff seems cuter, NOT HAIRLESS!)
