Shoulder Press: Dumbbells vs Barbell????

[DiscoStew]

Hi all, I'm curious to see people's opinion on dumbbell vs barbell shoulder press? What do people prefer? Which is better? I currently use both in my program.

Also, with regards to dumbbell shoulder press, does it make any difference as to whether one does both arms together or alternates between each arm? Pressing with both arms together is harder but one can press more with one arm at a time.

It's not one over the other, ever. They're both equally good, under different circumstances.
