table collation

Hi i have been doing some reading and trying to decide on the better collation for my tables.

I have limited it to 'latin 1 swedish ci' or 'utf8 unicode ci'

But i dont know enough about them comparison wise to really make a good choice.

Im guessing it all depends on where your table will be used as far as what language is going to be attempted with it.

I dont plan on my script being anyone outside of english speaking countries but i also dont want to limit myself.

I have always used latin 1 swedish ci in all my tables in the past, but i have heard that alot of people are switching to utf8.

Any suggestions on what i should base my decision on, the right way?

Thanks.
