Question about steel

I am looking at purchasing a new KA-Bar knife, and can't decide between two of the blades. I know a lot of you have used them and was wanting some insight. Is there any advantage to go with the 1095 carbon blade over the 440a stainless. The reason for the stainless is obvious, but with everyday use I don't think that rust would be a problem for me. I was wondering if there was any strength differences. Also I think I heard somewhere that the carbon is easier to sharpen. I don't know if that is true, and don't really know if it would even matter. Anyways thanks in advance for any input.
