safale or nottingham?

I'm gonna use s-04 on mine. I really love S04 on stouts and I dont get any esters from it, so I think I might start using it more often on other beers. Maybe not on cream ales, but definately on malty beers.

I'd go with the 04. Both will highlight the maltiness but I find 04 to be more neutral than most.
