Drop pocket. I don’t tire retrieving balls and I can’t stand the sound.
Ball return. When they get stuck it’s usually because someone drops chalk into one of the pockets
Sounds like a case for drop pockets. Not to mention whatever else can be dropped down and get stuck; coins, bottle peas, general dust and debris, etc. Drops are easier to clean, and cheaper if you’re buying new.
I like both, but certain games seem to lend themselves better to drop or ball return. BR is definitely best for 14.1, and maybe also 8-ball and the rotation games, but with One Pocket drops are better.
Still, drops are fine for any game and it’s convenient when you need to grab a ball back quickly rather than waiting for the return.
The sound of the BR can be tiresome after a while, especially in a home room.
Also for solo practice drops are better, it’s easier to snag balls from wherever depending on how you practice.
You obviously have no experience with the ball returns on a Gold Crown.

Is it that obvious?
Afraid so. A coin or bottle pea could never block a ball return rail. I would just fall straight through. I have a GCV just like you but with a ball return. Previous to that I had a GVIII with a ball return and the 2 other tables before that were drop pockets.

Ok you got me, guilty as charged.
Haven’t played on a Brunswick ball return in literally decades only Valley and Diamond bar boxes.
Still, I would be the person unlucky enough to get miscellaneous junk fall into a ball return and get stuck.
Honestly(!) playing on both BR and DP are fine by me. I’d just rather have the DP for home.
