I like the back tab curtains. They look a little more finished that rod pocket.

I don't care for the rod pocket look at all.

I much prefer back tabs, they are easier to move on the rod, and always look unified. No more rod pockets for me. I love these that I made for our living room.

I hate rod pockets. All that fabric bunched up on the rod. You can never get them really out of the way unless the rod extends way beyond the window frame. The only thing rod pockets are good for is to attach clips. Back tabs are great. Nice folds and smooth operation.

Well, it looks like back tabs it is, without a doubt. Aktillery and nanny2a, the photos of your panels were also a great help in seeing how neatly they hang. Many thanks to all of you in helping me with my decision.

Thanks to the wonderful advice all of you provided, today I ordered 6 pair of panels with back tabs. They should arrive in about two weeks.

Yay! We want to see pictures when they are hung :)
