Definitely discuss it with your doctor.  She will help you decide which type is best for you given your lifestyle, health history, etc.  

I personally have been on the pill for six years with no issue, but some people can't handle the pill due to their bodies' responses.  One of the main reasons I didn't go with the injection was because those hormones are kind of stuck there, and if I had had any side effects I didn't like, I would have had to put up with them until they wore off three months down the line.

Like you said, everyone is different so it's really hard to answer that question accurately. All you can do is try different options until you find one that works for you.
