Certainly a difference can be cost. In some areas slides are cheaper and others prints are cheaper. One way that I hold down cost is to use negative film and just have it processed but not printed. Since I am scanning anyway, C-41 process costs me US $2.29 per roll and E-6 costs me $5.99. Usually print film is 1-2 dollars cheaper per roll. So for me, cost is a big difference. Also, the quality of scanner can be important. The higher contrast of the slide can be more demanding to scan.
