Which is the better basement? Looking on building, costs are about the same. What would you all recommend?

For every block you have a potential of 3 leaks. With a poured foundation no leaks. With a block, you will have a separate footing, with a wall, the wall and the footing will be one pour. A poured wall will be cheaper. But if you want a good block look, spend the money, put in the blocks, and hope you have no leaks. End of story.
