Depends on the area to be covered,rollers are best for whole rooms as they cover faster but pads are good for smaller areas and borders/corners.

I've always found paint pads to be messy. What I do is to cut in along the woodwork with a brush in one hand and a wet rag in the other for catching the little slips. That way you don't have to tape off with blue tape, saving LOTS of time. Then fill in with roller painting. When you're all done check the woodwork carefully so you can clean up any speckles before they cure.
What's even more important is to use good quality paint. Check Consumer Reports at the library as quality varies from color to color even within high quality brands.
Good luck! No matter how you do it it's a lot of work but well worth the effort once you can sit and enjoy it.

Paint pad, definitely! Have just redecorated my entire house and the paint pad gives such a nicer finish, the roller leaves a funny finish, the paint pad's finish is much more even. Plus, a roller splashes all over the floor!

If you have ended up with roller-splatter before then paint pads might be the way to go and they cover a large area quicker than you might imagine. However overload them you'll still end up in a right old mess!

Roller is much quicker but splatters, paint pad good for painting over blown vinyl wallpaper etc.

I prefer pads to rollers, its so much cleaner, as rollers seem to spit paint over things

you cant beat a good roller and brush for painting. what you have to do is get them, then practise for the next 20 odd years.....pads are ok when their being shown in a diy store.
