MY experience is similar to Bee's.

I don't trust matches as much. I've had plenty of match failures, typically due to deterioration. Even some of the newer "strike anywhere's" have such a small white tip, that failure to light is too common.

For Bic lighters, no problems. There were some initial failures due to fuel leakage from inadvertent pressing on the lever while stored in a kit. I cured this by wrapping a thin rubber band around the lighter, passing under the lever. Since then, no leaks. Plus you have an extra rubber band in your PSK. When I go through my kits I always test the lighters. Some of them have to be at least 10 year old. I'll start swapping them out as cheap insurance, but prefer bic to matches.
