It seemed like pondering the advantages and disadvantages of both
would be a good idea since your circumstances could make one a far
better choice than the other.

Yep. I've used both and prefer POP3 for Gmail, but others prefer
IMAP. With POP3, Gmail offers the option to keep the messages on the
server after downloading them, but I think that's disabled by default.
It's been a long time since I set up a Gmail account, so you'll want
to check that setting for sure, especially if you're going to be
experimenting with both protocols to see which you prefer.
