Default fully floating or press fit wrist pins?

I have seen both and I thought I would ask what is better and why?

Thanks
Stephen

Floating. Less friction. Less weight (if you go with a custom pin size).

Thats really not an opinion, thats fact. A floating pin is far superior to a press fit pin, period. End of story.

may sound dumb but do you have to use a press to put them in or do the clips just keep them there?
