I used to use plastic. Is there any time when one or the other is better?

I use ceramic during most grinding cycles (as I rarely have smalls in a batch) 60/90, 220, 320, 500 -may start adding plastic pellets for 500 depending on the stone.
Switch to plastic pellets only for 1000, polish and final burnish.
Everyone probably has their own methods.
