Question about baking bread with a cast iron dutch oven vs. a loaf pan

I tried both last weekend for my sourdough, the dutch oven gave me a better crust but my loaf pan made slicing easier, which one do you all stick with for weekday sandwiches?

Wait, you got a BETTER crust from the dutch oven? My last dutch oven loaf came out with a crust so hard I practically needed a chainsaw to get through it. The bottom was like a hockey puck, I swear. My loaf pan version is way softer, but then the top never gets that nice dark color. For weekday sandwiches, I actually use my loaf pan because I can slice it thin and even, and honestly I'm too lazy to wrestle with the dutch oven at 7am. The dutch oven stays for weekend show-off bread.
