exponential or simple moving avg?

[pburggra]

When looking for support should I use an exponential moving avg? or a simple moving avg? A stock I was just looking to short (swks) was referenced as having support at its 200 dma of 9.34 and when I looked at it's chart that support line was a simple moving avg.
