I'm a professional engineer so I don't have a problem with either. But conceptually I prefer a finer measuring tool so Fahrenheit gets my vote.

Engineer?
Now it all makes sense.
I'm a chemist, with a masters in Thermodynamics - in my (long distant) research days, I was measuring things in parts per billion levels of reproducibility. For me, even the 180 degrees you use are not fine enough, so if you're really wanting to measure things properly, you need Lord Kelvin's scale (and 6 or 7 significant figures MINIMUM).
