Stealth and long term wise I prefer the PayPal accounts. Hopefully they'll reactivate them after their "security updates".

With Etsy payments enabled your shop is more stable, there's higher conversion rate for your products because of more payment options offered to customers and Etsy's buyer protection being offered. With Paypal only shops money is going into your paypal account which can be limited/funds frozen and taken by paypal due to user agreement policy violations, you constantly need to withdraw asap (at least I do, because I never trust paypal) and money can't be spend immediately. Also you need to add credit cards to cover the fees which is inconvenient

I've had pp and payments stores side by side, the payments stores always gets more sales. Before April, et si treated pp stores with less respect, now they dont even treat them, though they say that is temporary.

I do not think it matters in the grand scheme of things
