Why should I use Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) over the standard .NET EventLog class, and vice versa? Does knowing that we'll be using quite a few performance counters impact the decision?

What I know so far:

  1. ETW should perform much better.
  2. ETW is much more work to integrate with (e.g. .NET Event Tracing for Windows)
  3. By selecting one of the standard channels in ETW (e.g. Application, System), the same information is available in the event log.
