Barb,
I have had both, and found PICC lines uncomfortable and inconvenient due to the placement, and I could always feel it there. The port is generally more comfortable and placed in a way so that it does not interfere with most activities, from the basics of taking a shower, sleeping, giving a hug, to exercising and cooking.
My general preference would be the port. I had one installed with only 25k platelets. It bled a little, but not enough to worry me or the doctors.
