MetaMask vs MyEtherWallet
There are some clear pros and cons to using each service.

MetaMask also has better security features than MyEtherWallet. It will not allow you to access your funds if you lose your private key, and it has a built-in browser extension that encrypts all of your transactions.
Cons of using MetaMask:
MetaMask is more expensive than MyEtherWallet. It costs $9 per month to use MetaMask, compared to $4 per month for MyEtherWallet.
