Bathtub or Shower stall?

I recently had to gut the bathroom in a 1/1 to repair water damaged floor.  I'm in the process of putting everything back together.  Is there any advantage to installing a tub and shower over the shower stall that was there before?

I am partial to showers, myself, they look a lot classier... in a one bed you don't really have the problem of families with kids that wouldn't look at anything without a tub. I assume if you have room for a tub you can put in a fairly substantial sized shower. Totally just a preference, but if you don't have room for a real soaking tub, and there are no kids to worry about, I think a shower generally is just nicer looking and gives the opportunity to tile the floor and make it really nice at not so much additional cost, That being said, if you are going to put in an insert and not make it really nice, just go with the tub. Looks better than plastic shower walls. Just my opinion!
