Painting is more forgiving - especially after a few chips, scratches or tyre changes.

It doesn't really matter either way. A decent tyre fitter will not damage paint on fitting. I have had two sets of wheels powdercoated and as long as you use a reputable coater the finish will last and is resilient (unless you go to Russia in Winter
 ) It is also probably the cheaper of the two options unless you do the painting yourself which will involve quite a lot of prepping and hard graft. My last set where stripped, dipped and powdercoated black, they were 6 years old and one single wheel was only just beginning to show a little sign of age related deterioration. It could be redone for ballpark £30-£40 once tyre was removed.
