What's your opinion: onion seeds v onion sets?

Your opinions on the question of onion seeds or onion sets would be appreciated. 

 I have never planted onions and would like to do so this year but even after weighing the pros and cons I can't decide.  Seeds=more product @ less cost;  Sets = less product @ a bit more cost, but saves time.  Ideally I would like to harvest up to 100 onions storing and dehydrating.

Thanks for your help.
Keep warm  :)

First Nor'easter of 2014.. update

image from weather.com

I hope everyone who is being affected by this storm is safe and warm and remember to leave the snow shoveling to the youngsters; and for those who live in warmer climates..... I wish I were where you are.  Maybe I will visit my daughter in FL.  :)

It's snowing, and has been since the early hours of this morning.  According to the latest forecasts it will continue throughout the night and most of tomorrow dumping up to 18" of snow and dropping temperatures to -8F.  But on the bright side, the weekend looks like it will be lovely with the temperatures climbing into the 40's F.  Yes, this is New England and as Mark Twain was said about our weather: "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes it will change."

As long as we don't have a power outage we will be fine.  Plenty of food and supplies stocked up, we do have a generator but so far we have never needed to use it.

Spring is only 77 days away!

UPDATE:

Friday, 3 Jan 2014
Well we got lucky with Hercules, for our area the storm didn't live up to its name or hype.
We ended up with about 6-8 inches of powdery snow, but the temperature is still very cold, 13 F  today.

The arctic cold that's coming will probably be much worse.....they usually are.

Keep warm.

Happy New Year!

Just taking a moment to wish everyone a very happy new year!

Stay warm while you browse through the seed catalogs and plan this year's garden. 

Be safe, warm and happy :)
