You can tell if it's cocked, with a hammer.
Yes!
And, like front wheel drive cars, the makers of such will try and convince you that they are making them that way because its better....Both . Like front wheel drive vehicles, manufacturers don’t build striker fired firearms because there better , it’s because there cheaper to build .
I prefur a hammer for "safety" reasons. Only because you can quickly tell if it's ready to rock.
You?

Dont really care, as long as its got a trigger.
ETA a trigger that my stubby trigger finger can reach.Dont really care, as long as its got a trigger.
No hammer striker..for the range, HD and EDC...
You can tell if a striker is cocked too..
Yea, I have a XD9 and they have a way to tell if they are cocked as well as a way to tell if there is a round chambered.
I guess I should have said "you can easily tell if they are ready".
The other thing I like about exposed hammer pistols is, you can carry one in the chamber and put the hammer at half cock. With a striker fire I wouldn't feel safe with one in the chamber because you can't decock it (at least not with my xd since it has no decocker) and if you do, racking the slide to cock it, ejects the round.
And as others have said, I like striker fired for CC.
