Per my understanding, eggshell is somewhat more impact resistant, however when comes to repaint, entire wall has to be repainted; spot touch up can not be done.On the other side, flat paint is less impact resistant, marks can be easily left on the wall, however, spot touch up will make it look new; somewhat a cost saving at end of terms.What is your preference and reason, if you don't mind sharing.
