    Can someone outline the pros and cons of the two?

    I've only used Dry, for both topping up kits, and in my extract brews.

    Dry is much more stable in storage and is generally preferred. Also I have found that its much easer to add to the kettle as liquid extract can sink to the bottom and can burn is not stirred.

    I've found DME to be a pain in the arse with clumping etc but it always dissolves eventually. I've yet to use LME but I'm told it's inferior in terms of taste and potential additives. Plus you need more of it compared to DME.

    I've always found them to be much the same. Liquid is cheaper but you need to use the whole can in one go. With dried, you can use some and put the rest away.
