naphtha vs propane

I have two Coleman stoves, one is naphtha and the other is propane. I am trying to decide what one to use. The biggest issue I see (but I'm probably missing something) is fueling it while out. The propane is quick and easy and could be hooked up to a full size tank if I end up building a trailer. Naphtha is readily available anywhere and easy to store though. It can also be used for other stuff such as my lantern.

Propane is very easy to use. I have a nice little 2 burner propane stove.

I have at least a half-dozen Coleman stoves that use white gas (Naptha/Coleman Fuel).

Fortunately, I don't need to decide: There are adapters for the white gas stoves that allow use of propane! They simply replace the white gas tank and generator tube, and the bottle (or hose) attach right to them

I have the option of both as well, I just need to decide what one so I don't have to lug two of them (and maybe sell the other).
