I shot mostly SA until I found that I was actually MORE accurate shooting DA.

I found this to be the case as well.
A long time back, I had a 4" Model 29 Smith I was having trouble staying consistent with shooting heavy loads. It had a very nice and light SA trigger, like most of my S&W's, but knowing it was going off as soon as my finger touched it was causing me to develop a nasty flinch.
A friend who was a long time DA revolver shooter got me to try shooting it that way, and his reasoning was sound. DA forces you to focus on the important parts, the sights, and the "break" just happens, and as its supposed to, more or less a surprise.
After a little practice and dry firing that way, my groups with that .44 had shrunk by more than half, and I was hitting those old "Hi-C" juice cans at 100 yards, sitting on my butt and shooting between my knees.
I havent thumb cocked a DA revolver since.
Speed comes with practice and accuracy isnt lost.
As for those old SAO's, I shoot them too, but find their lock time to be almost agonizingly "long". Almost like shooting a flintlock.
