Have to agree with Dave there. To summarize the benefits ...

SESSION: faster, supports complex data types
CLIENT: can be shared across machines, does not need locking

You may believe that one is better than the other, and that may be the case
for your applications. However, "better" is in the eye of the beholder. For
many applications, which will never be clustered, you can get significantly
better performance using Session variables instead of Client variables. In
my opinion, neither is "better" overall - in some cases, you're better off
using one, in other cases, you're better off using the other.
