Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why?

This is bugging me. Just as I think I have the

right answer it slips through my fingers.

Let's not consider cost in this opinion poll.

For example-

Pick one of the types of tweeters

Choice- Planar Ribbon

Reason-Low moving mass and larger surface area vs domes.

Everyone should have an opinion here unless they are relatively new to the game.

Lets see if we all learn something new!

The key is putting a given tweeter in the right application with the right electrical integration to its mating speaker and enclosure. I have also heard some terrible examples of applications of different tweeter types. My favorite sounding tweeter of all time is the Scan Speak aluminum dome tweeter in the Harbeth C7ES3 speaker. What a gorgeous sounding tweeter.
