Extension tube or CloseUp filter???

Hi guys,

Want to know which setup are you using for macro photography and why?? Extension Tube or CloseUp filter...

I'm currently using a 28-135 IS USM, which is f3.5/5.6....

Seems that the extension tube has more drawbacks that the CloseUp filter.. Read that AF won't work after 80mm on that lens, and that the IS behaves weirdly... Guess I'll be going for a CloseUp filter then.....
