I would prefer ERC20 instead of Waves
As ERC20 more popular
Built on Etherum
Have its exchanges to trade as etherdelta
With all my best wishes

Thank you everyone for the replies, which tell me which way to go.
Our project is an Android based application with a wallet, exchange and record of transactions. We are developing this around the Las Vegas tourism market, which I have worked in for 9 years. When I started with waves I liked that they had an API that we could build into our app. The features we want to have include: Wallet, exchange, user area. I am at the point of buying a server to build a node, meaning real money. I am now going to look at some other options.

I support ERC-20 tokens more than waves as Ethereum is technically advanced than the waves token creation. Waves is just a copy cat idea and don't have much to offer.
I don't think the OP need more information on this, there is huge gulf between ERC20 and Waves, just tell me one project on Waves that is successful, none
so far I only know about ERC20, and that is a very good coin, because sometimes big market, just accept coin with ERC20 system. well, but so far, I just know it right there. I have not learned about platform waves
I think erc20 is preferable. There are a lot of junk tokens on waves, and it might be unfair, ERC-20 has quite a bit more support and standardization than waves. 
Hello,
I am creating a coin/ token and wondered, is there a downside to using waves to create it? Its only slightly easier to create vs an Ethereum based. We picked waves due to their DEX API, what does this community think?
You'd want to go with the one that has the most support. Waves doesn't have that many people trading their coin compared to Ethereum so the answer is pretty simple.I am creating a coin/ token and wondered, is there a downside to using waves to create it?

I've participated in quite a few waves/erc20 airdrops and I still havn't sold a single waves token from the air drops.
I think ERC20 is the way to go!

Ethereum definitely has a higher barrier to entry, but you will get a much more flexible and customizable token. If you don't need that, then Waves would work fine.
Waves is a bullshit, i would not create a token in their system because nobody is going to be interested in buying your tokens, better to use a erc20 token with a smart contract instead of being greedy and only pay $5 to create a token on Waves platform.. It is better to invest $500 and create a smart contract instead of making it a not-attractive investment for all the other people who see your ANN.
Good luck with it mate
Too many thrash coin that already created in the waves system, The waves platform just like useless. What is the benefit by using the waves platform? Less privacy, Less on its interest and another bad thing that linked to the waves. Good luck with it mate
Sasha just unprofessional person that raised a lot of money for nothing even dex just another fail.
You must try to think for a twice for that.
ERC20 can use smart contracts and create tokens. They are more than a representation of property but can execute commands. Waves token so far is only a representation of the token and can't do smart contracts.
I don't know of a single successful project that has been built on waves. I think this is a no brainer. I would go for erc20 without a doubt. Instead of taking chances with waves. Maybe when waves has smart contracts, things will change but for now, ETH is the boss
In my personal opinion based on experience and using both systems, I advise you to go for ERC-20 tokens.
The smart contracts system that Ethereum offers is much more developed and has a lot of opportunities to create more.
Plus creating a token there isn't really hard at all and even you can do it by yourself. Open source of tokens is available on the ether website. You just need to modify simple info like name, supply and decimals and you're ready to go (just assuming that you want to send a normal token that's going to be traded). It seriously won't cost you more than $50. But of course you can create a custom one which requires professionals.
Waves tokens aren't as popular as erc20. And its exchange isn't as active or easy as erc20 tokens. Take etherdelta for example. You can get your token listed in no time once you decide to add it.
Most, if not all, ICOs that are available right now are in ERC.
But at the end of the day, it's your project and your choice.

This is a very strong words.
Anyway, I inevested on both waves and eth and I really wonder why the price difference is so huge.
If you are a token developer then dont create a coin on Waves dex please! you are going to make a dissater on your project, nobody is going to invest anything in your ico because waves ruins every project in where it has been, the only succesfull project using waves technology has only been Waves, because ico's runned by them are a garbage, all of them did not even raised more than 30m in each one of their ico's.
just like the other user said, invest a little more, but hire a good contract developer and create your professional token.

I guess we'd have to wait for waves to offer smart contracts before chosing waves vs ERC20 tokens.
I think ERC20 is more popular than waves
Based on Ethereum and that is enough
And could be transferred and tradeable on Etherdelta
With all my best wishes
Good luck

Agree with the majority here! ERC-20 is used by most of the ICOs and even the most popular ICO use it. So it's definitaly preferable over waves
