Fontbook or Suitcase on Tiger?

I've just upgraded to Tiger & now Suitcase can't seem to find any of the hundreds of fonts I've got in the ~/Fonts folder.
I've read through quite a few other posts about problems running Suitcase X1 on Tiger so it seems like there's a few issues knocking about.

Which is best to use Fontbook or Suitcase?
And if I change over to using Fontbook what's the best approach to setting it all up? (I read somewhere that I shouldn't be keeping that many fonts in the ~/Fonts folder because they all get loaded when booting up & use up valuable memory)

Cheers.
 
My take would be neither. In another discussion (I can't find it right now) several of us suggested using Linotype FontExplorer X. It works great and is free (at the moment). You can find it here: http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX

Down side: it is still in beta and can be crashed, but is more stable that Suitecase for Fusion and has loads more features than Fontbook

My two cents. Your mileage...
