I can't decide whether to start my veggie seeds in an Aerogarden this season or stick with the old grow lights in the basement. it's supposed to be a lot faster in the AG.......

I got an aerogarden and agree about the lettuce. Mine grows a basil, a cutting celery, lettuce, and other things get experimented with. I have not tried cucumbers inside.
I have not yet found a cherry tomato that was very tasty.
Regarding using it to start transplants, yes, it does work, but I didn't think it optimal. Timing can be tricky: while some plants in a pot can wait a couple of days if the weather is uncooperative, inside it might grow to the point you will shock it very badly by potting it up and setting it out in indirect sun.
I failed miserably with some flowers last year.
Tomatoes DO work well, and you can get a clone or two and still have the original as well. It's kinda cheating, but ONE seed of an expensive hybrid could be two or three in your garden.
