I have been given the option of rendering (sand+cement) or hardwall and multifinish on top. The plasterer is keen to render than to use hardwall. I am more used to hardwall in all houses I have been, actually I do not think I have ever seen a house with sand+cement render. What is the better way to do it?

Our house is sand and cement then plaster over. Common in 60s
More popular to use hardwall or dot and dab now
 
Thanks. I have also found sand+cement in two old rooms. I have since spoken to a few plasterers and they all seem to have their own preferences, most however are OK with either floating or plaster-boarding, it is my choice.
