Default 93 vs. 91 tune

Given the choice of 93 octane fuel with 10% ethanol content vs. regular 91 octane gasoline which would you use in your car?

I think I read ethanol is bad for the entire fuel system. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's what I don't like about the ethanol.

1) Less mpg vs. regular gasoline.
2) I've heard it is hard on your seals.
3) It's a dumb idea as far as driving down the cost of gasoline goes.
4) The ONE station that has the 93 w/ethanol is a further 3-4 miles from my house.

On the plus side.
1) The 93 w/ethanol is actually 5-8c cheaper than the 91 in my town.
2) Minor hp boost over the 91.

Having trouble deciding on going back to the 91 tune or not.

E85 maybe after a long time using it, not the blend that almost all gas has though
