FL Studio works better as Rewire or VSTi In Cubase/Sonar?

[SonicBreeze]

I want to know from experienced users that when we combine FLS and Cubase/Sonar, which option works better and why? is it as Rewire or VSTi?
There is no such choice for Propellerheads Reason as it can only be used as Rewire and IMHO it works great as rewire slave in CubaseSX.
FL Studio is provided with these choices thats why this question came up.

Please put on some light on this issue.

as a VSTi I have (and some other users) a very strange problem within cubase. the timeline cursor in the pattern arranger, and the current active LED in the step seq. along with the lcd displaying bars/time, do not follow the correct current playing position. Usually are off by quite a few bars. The audio, arrangements etc, however, play back at the correct time. Even though the cursors are somewhere else.

Makes editing a PIA. Rewire does not have this problem.

You can use the "Time Offset" to correct that.

From the FL Studio help file:

The Time Offset setting in the plugin editor sets how many bars earlier FL Studio should start playing compared to the host. With negative values, FL Studio starts later than the host.

In SONAR there is a 16 channel limit on Rewire,
so it's probably better to go the DXi/VSTi route.

That's what I do.
