Do you prefer digraphs or diacritics? (kbin.social)

When I'm romanizing my conlangs, I tend to prefer using diacritics over digraphs—e.g., I'd rather write /ʃ/ as <š> than <sh>. It gets rid of any possible ambiguity, and makes things a consistent one letter per phoneme. What do you guys think?

I like chaotic orthographies (for conlangs only), so I prefer digraphs with a generous serving of historical orthography.
