air connectors - PCL or Euro?

I've bought a compressor (a Wolf Sioux) which came with Euro connectors, and then went and bought a load of air tools on Ebay, which all came with PCL...

Which standard do people recommend I go for? PCL seems a bit more standard so maybe that's the better choice? On the other hand, it's probably (slightly) easier to change the tools to Euro connectors.

without any doubt, PCL

Is it better? Or just more standard?

I agree - PCL

ETA - they seem to leak a lot less than the Euro connectors

more standard. if you're ever going to borrow an air tool from someone, its more likely to have PCL fittings.
at the college when i did a bit of car mechanics there as a lad, PCL fittings, garages, PCL, local independant van hire place who also races formula fords so i ask him for help sometimes, PCL
don't know why tbh, but everyone seems to use PCL, euro only seems to come with the cheaper end of tools
