Blue screen, or Green screen - which is less problematical

Setup: Canon HV20, FCP6.1, MBPro 2.33

I have a Blue screen and am considering getting a Green screen. The Blue, being pretty dark, seems to cause problems for the camera, esp. with contrast with the actor that make for tricky lighting.

Just curious if others have this problem and if Green screen carries its own set of problems--too bright, etc.

Also if anyone knows a good place to buy the Green screen let me know.

I've shot with both and both have their issues. It really depends on the subject. I've shot with mainly people and with blonde or light color hair I typically shoot blue screen, with brunettes I shoot green. But this is all subjective to their clothing. But overall, I typically like shooting with Blue the best, much easier to key imo.
