what is the advantage of using 8r instead of ec or texnansi?

It is a matter of taste and the characters you need. There is no big difference for my german and english texts. texnansi does not work with the preinstalled (psnfss) fonts from teTeX. So this leaves my preferred coding system to 8r or ec. Sometimes I need glyphs that are encoded in 8r but not in ec (euro sign for example). I never use glyphs that are encoded in ec but not in 8r.
