I've always preferred barrel-handle jigsaws over D-handles, but I thought I'd see what others preferred. The advantage of the D-handle is being able to control speed via the trigger, but I always feel like my hand is too far from the body of the tool to have great control. Barrel handles usually allow me to use two hands easier as well.
I'm about to order a new one, but am just double-checking before I make the purchase.
