Plate Chillers - Siphon wort with pump or gravity

[DirtyPolock]

So I am trying to take an informal poll, or at least get the pro's and con's.

I am thinking of investing some money and getting a plate chiller for the summer brewing months as it is ball sweaty hot here in the summer and I can't chill the wort that great.

When using a plate chiller should I run the wort through the chiller with a march pump, or is a gravity fed system enough.

People using both methods have reported success.

I used to gravity feed, but now use a pump and glad I do. So much better and easier. With gravity feeding you need height and with height comes the lifting of something heavy.
