presentation

I need to create a technical presenatation (just a few slides but with formulas etc.). It seems that LaTeX is a natural choice.

However - which package should I use and why (the second part is important as probably for the first one there is no right answer)?

As far I found

I know that I can use either but:

There may be better one which I'll use in future
There may be a kill-features I have no idea about

Thank you in advance for answers and lack of flames ;)
