A320 IAE V2500 powered VS A320 CFM powered?

Hi,

I was wondering if any pilots/engineers who have experience with the above mentioned could answer a few questions for me?

From a pilots point of view, for those who have experience of both engine types on the A320 family, which engine performs better?

For the engineers, when I've seen the V25's and the CFM's being kitted with the powerplant material before returning to their respective airline, the CFM looks a far easier engine to work on - so.....can anyone give a broad outline as to which engine is more reliable through personal experiences

And finally, if anyone can answer this - operationally, which is the preferred engine type to those who have access to both of them?

Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated!!!!
