i find white to be more peppery of the 2. i dont think either is better than the other, but i use white.

black for flavour- white for "heat"

i only use white in asian cooking - black for everything else :)

I use a gourmet freshly ground as needed. It is a mixture of red, green, black and white and has a nice "kick" to it.

And white if you don't want little black specks in a creamy mix.

Exactly, also white in anything that I don't want black specks in.
