Basically I would choose based on what you will print. It these are tax
returns and other important documents, then it has to be laser. These
documents then will survive flood. If these are photographs, then it has
to be ink printer (color is the one I would get). As ink blends, but the
powder of laser printers doesn't. Hence the difference in reproducing
half-tones, gradual color changes.

Just my 2c.
