I'm firmly planted in the rollers camp. We have the cycle-ops ones that offer resistance. It's not much resistance being only about 3 or 4% climb at it's maximum setting but it's better than no resistance. You get a smoother more fluent riding technique from riding on rollers as seat hopping pedal stomps will assuredly have you off. Although that said if you want to read and do other things whilst just spinning your legs then a turbo is most assuredly the better option. Personally I like to concentrate solely on the riding.

I too prefer rollers and looked at replacing my old standard set with the ones you describe with resistance, having read you post I think i will add to my Christmas "wish" list.
