But for pedals, on a board, 1/4 side or top mounted is vastly superior. If it's a fixed setup you want that shit to be secure. Face mounted is an invitation for getting broken. 1/4 is more rugged. And if you're packing a board, there is a serious shortage of good small right angle stuff that goes from 1/8 to 1/4, so you end up with a bunch of maybe unreliable adapters and/or lost space. 1/4 side or top mounted is waaaay easier and more reliable. If I was doing all tabletop I'd feel different, but 1/4 is vastly superior in practice for pedals.
And obviously top is always better

1/8" female to 1/4" male adapters are much more sturdy so 1/4" inputs might be preferable for that reason.

what size you prefer and also if and how you interface with the CV - use modular to control? expression pedal? external cv controller? other pedals? etc

1/4" at the top 3.5mm on the face.
Have the 1/4" be either CV expression or CV input (like DBA's Evil Filter).

That's what adapters are for. If you don't have a bunch of those laying around, well then you sir need to up your CV game!
I use a Ronald EV 5 for some pedals, a Lightning Wave EVA for others and I have a Moog MP 201 incoming.
I prefer to use a combination. It depends on the pedal. Certain pedals react better with a sweep than others. Now there are ways to use pedals like the EVA with an expression pedal as well. Lee informed me of that.
Check out my Instagram if you want to see the EVA in action. I'll be showing the Moog MP 201 as well when that arrives.
There are times where I also want to use a sequencer to control the CV on a pedal. For instance, the Chase Bliss Brothers works extremely well with a step sequencer. The thing is, the EVA is a wave form step sequencer. GOD DAMN IT EVERYONE BUY THEM!!!
Anyway, that's my thoughts. I'll work with whatever dude.
