Re: [lojban-beginners] Orthographies! (not asking which is the best or whatnot, just a general poll)

I rarely write, so lowercase Latin letters, cause that's what's on my keyboard. I like the notion of explicitly marking accents (e.g. like here: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/The+Princess+and+the+Pea#lo_noltrut_u_po_cp_na_lo_d_mbi_translation_by_selpa_039_i_), but I don't do it myself because that's more effort.

The colon as a shorthand for ".i" seems reasonable to me in works that would be short on horizontal space, but I wouldn't use it in standard text.

I played around a bit with various orthographies (http://imgur.com/qjhZK), but don't use any of them much. Larlermorna seems like it would be the best for creative calligraphy; srilermorna is pretty but a pain to write; zbalermorna is the one I like best in concept, but my handwriting in it is atrocious.

Because i know how y'all react to the subject of various created orthographies, etc. etc. etc. and everybody basically agrees that the standard orthography should officially be this one, i have a different question. What orthography do you use to write lojban, and why?
