Trace.WriteXXX vs Listener.WriteXXX

[Frank Oquendo]

What issues should I consider when deciding to use one or the other?

Frank,
I'm not see a Listener.WriteXXX per se, do you mean TraceListener.WriteXXX?

I would "always" use Trace.WriteXXX, as my understanding is
TraceListener.WriteXXX is an implementation detail of Trace.WriteXXX &
Debug.WriteXXX.

The only time I would use TraceListener.WriteXXX is when I was implementing
a new Listener class. Or implementing my own Trace or Debug like class.

Hope this helps
Jay
