DME or sugar?
I am preparing to bottle a batch of Pale Ale and was wanting some opinions on which is better to prime with, corn sugar or DME. I normaly use corn sugar but I happen to have some DME on hand and planned on using it. Any opinions on this matter would be welcome. Thanks B.
Priming
I normally use corn sugar as well. I've tried a few batches w/ DME. The only drawbacks I experienced was longer carbonation times--on the order of 3 weeks instead of the usual 1-2 weeks, and a little extra sediment from the DME's break material. Otherwise, you have the advantage of claiming a 100% all-malt beer.

DME
I prefer DME over corn sugar. It seems to round out the flavor better.
