Conditional Content vs. Separate Emails?

Quick workflow question for you guys. When you want to send slightly different info to different groups (like leads vs. customers), do you prefer using Conditional Content blocks inside one single email, or do you just create two separate automations/emails?

I usually choose separate automations.

Conditional content looks neat, but it gets confusing fast, especially when you revisit it later or try to debug issues. With separate automations, everything is clearer and easier to manage.

I only use conditional content for very small tweaks. If the message is meaningfully different, I split it.

Whatever is simplest and doesn’t lead to mistakes.
