I prefer slivers, because they have permanent effects.  ie "All Slivers have" X, rather than ETB or tap 2 creatures for X effect.

I prefer allies because honestly, who wants to fight an army of indestructible 10/10 double strike life link flying  trampling shroud slivers? Throw constricting sliver in there, now you can take care of any non hexproof/shroud threat. Sounds like fun for everyone right?

In EDH, slivers, although they usually get ganged up on and murdered.

In Modern, allies. It's just more consistent.

Yeah I think the permanent effects make me go with Slivers too.

I have enjoyed Slivers since their release in Tempest... when your slivers boosted your opponent's slivers, too.  That being said, I like Allies better because you can make a competitive two or three color deck with them, where slivers practically need to use all 5 colors to unlock their full potential.

That's exactly WHY I love playing slivers XDDD. 

I love slivers.  The first deck I ever homebrewed was a sliver deck.  I've got like 5 different sliver decks.  I love slivers.  Straight up.  My most loved thing about slivers is you can do a lot of crazy stuff with them, since everything gets the same ability.  So you can do a lot of fun stuff.  I've got a deck which uses telekenetic sliver to tap all opponent's lands during their upkeep.  They're wild!

Slivers are like a never ending swarm.

Slivers, I've just never liked the way Allies played though I'm slowly coming around on them.
