Question Wheels -v-Skids

Goood Morning Rotorheads,

Apart from the ground handling benefit, what advanage or disadvantage is there from fitting Helis with retractable wheels, when they seem to be an added weight and technical complication compared with Skids, and, which do you consider the most safe and practical option, Wheels or Skids?
