Alfredo: cream based sauce vs bechamel based sauce

Suggested guidelines:
"Both" is not option, if you think both are options leave what you think is the better of the two.

You may play devil's advocate, but I'd like a good concensus.

If you have a 3rd option that you swear by, you may put in your suggestion.

Cream and half and half as well as cream and milk combos will be considered cream sauce if the sauce is thickened by reduction. If it is dairy plus roux, it'll be considered bechamel.

You may be as bigoted and agressive as this board allows.
