I have used both and HSA and FSA and loved both of them. The HSA was by far the best in my opinion since I was able to make adjustments as I needed.

We also used it for all health purchases which is pretty much anything you can purchase from a pharmacy. Great break down of the three main tax free savings vehicles.
