FastPass+ or Express Pass?

Both Disney and Universal have their own ways of getting visitors to the front of the line faster. Disney's has incorporated FastPass+, while Universal supplies Express Passes. So which one is better?

Pros of FastPass+:
MagicBands and My Disney Experience app connect to each visitor's pass.
Available for every ride/attraction.
Available to book before vacation.

Cons of FastPass+:
Only useable once during the time allotted per ride.
Must use the app or kiosk to book each individual pass.
Many people book them before their vacation so their are not many available once you go if you have not already booked them.






 
Pros of Express Pass:
Comes with the purchase of a hotel room.
You can use it as many times as you want per ride at any time of day.

Cons of Express Pass:
Not available for every ride/attraction.
Very expensive if you stay off-site.



In conclusion...
I think Universal Express Pass is a better system.
Mostly because personally I don't like having a time where you need to go on that ride and you can't you a fast pass more than once during the time allotted.
For example, I had a FastPass+ for Tower of Terror at 2:10. I walked right on the ride at 2:15, but once I got off I had to wait in the regular line if I wanted to ride again. With an Express Pass I could have gone on TofT multiple times.
