I think I made it very obvious in my post (page 1) that I was talking on behalf of my experiences.
I love doodling some stuff down and what-not, but ever since I tried the iPhone I felt like I enhance my usage (mostly comfort and speed wise) if I simply used my finger for certain actions rather than a stylus, but also carry a stylus for those doodling.

So I think the superiority comes down to personal skills:

Resistive screen
+ with MultiTouch
- in its infacy (in terms of multitouch)
+ use any object as stylus
+ Cheaper to produce
+ Better accuracy
+ Taps are more defined
- Swiping motions are horrible compared to capacitive
- Screen (plastic) prone to easy scratches

Capacitive
+ with 10 finger MultiTouch
+ highly adopted/developed upon
- must use things with a charge (finger, meat, sal****er)
- Slightly more expensive (not really affecting end user)
- Less accurate (not the case in the future i believe)
- Slightly higher chance of accidental taps (depends mostly on user skill)
+ Swiping motion is a breeze
+ Screen is usually less prone to damages (eg Gorilla Glass)
