Cylindrical correction in contact lenses tends to be both more expensive and not as good as glasses, so contact lens wearers with astigmatism may have this issue.
From my own experience, unless you are really, REALLY into sports, glasses are infinitely much more better in almost every aspect. Sure, if you are young, you might be afraid you look like a nerd, but trust this old fart, after 25 or so it does not matter at all; if anything, you are perceived as smarter.
