Digital BW, The Print

If you know what you are doing, the digital print will be sharper, have
better shadow and highlight detail, and since you can put it on any of
hundreds of different papers, will probably be more "good looking" than
the darkroom print.

I personally much prefer the digital prints made on epson printers and
archival inks to darkroom prints. Dodging and burning and adjustments is
much easier in photoshop than in the darkroom. You have SO many more
options in digital.
