It's all the other matters usually debated here, such as queues through security, transport links, destinations and times will be the factors that influence choice.
I'm going to use SEN despite the blip at Easter peak which I put down as teething issue as they adjusted to dealing with the Ryanair phenomenon. As regards the alleged noise on Charlie - honestly, I couldn't care less. I use SEN cause it's convenient and in the main it just works fairly well. Passengers tend not to get emotionally attached to these things. It's all about airfare competitiveness and speed of transitioning through the airport and push back from stand on time.
