White glue

pro- low shine, easier clean-up

con- less water resistant, shorter hold time, can turn "milky" when they get wet

Solvent based glue

pro- stronger hold, more resistant to sweat and water

con- more difficult and messy to apply and remove, more shine, harsh fumes

I usually use white glues, mainly because I can only go one week max before I have to do a removal (due to irritation issues) and if I attach correctly I can get a solid week from a white glue attachment. Wouldn't make much sense for me to bother with solvent based glues, but for someone who is more active or someone who can wear for a longer period of time they might be worth trying.
