I think they each have their place...except SAO revolvers in 2022. Can't imagine anyone carrying one as EDC...except maybe Alec Baldwin.
I think you even have to throw into the mix that not all striker-fired pistols actuate the same way. There's a distinct difference between, for example, Glocks and XDs.
As for preference, if we're talking triggers only and foregoing factors like mag capacity, I'm kinda old school. Well, not kinda. Absolute old school. For a full-size or commander-sized pistol, I've never moved far away from the 1911. Same trigger pull and break every single time, and I'd posit that no better trigger (after all this time) exists on any non-Browning production pistol. I shoot 1911s far better than anything else...partly due to familiarity, partly due to grip angle, but overwhelmingly due to the trigger. (And, yes, even with non-1911s my thumb starts high and automatically moves down when I go to fire.)
Flat 1911s are also very concealable. That said, now that colder weather has arrived farther south in Texas, I'll often switch to an XDm for EDC primary. I shoot it almost as well and, since I carry OWB, a jacket on top of a shirt conceals it well. Also a lot to be said for double the capacity.
But tools need to be for-purpose designed. My little BUG is a DAO with a heavy trigger pull. The only thing more stupid than seeing a character in a movie stick a 92FS in the back of his pants without a holster is seeing him stick a 1911 there. The safety would flick off with about 5 minutes of bending and moving around.
Well, take that back. Even more stupid is Alec Baldwin.
