Obviously plastisol inks are the industry standard, but I'm seeing more and more water based inks in use (especially here in Australia).

What do the more experienced printers think about the merits (or lack thereof) of different types of ink?

Thanks for the quick response, that definitely gives me something to think about.

Do you feel that waterbased inks can give equally aesthetically pleasing results? I haven't had much exposure to different ink types (early days yet unfortunately), but waterbased inks didn't seem as opaque to me. Obviously there's a lot of factors involved though, so I wasn't sure if what I was seeing was indicative of the ink type, or just that specific print setup.
