I'm brewing a simple Dry Irish Stout and have these 2 dry yeast on hand. Opinions on which might make the better DIS? For the record I've done several dozen batches with Notty, my favorite yeast, and know at least a little about how to manipulate it to get some of the qualities I want out of it. I've used S-04 and know it is generally less neutral than Notty, thus I'm leaning toward using the S-04.

Thanks for the input.
 
I used 04 NB's Irish stout which we made into a coffee stout and it is one of the best beers I've ever done. Not sure if that was due to the coffee beans or the kit's basic ingredients, but I'd go 04.
