Better control to be had with CSV since you can align (or re-align) columns
for import and, if and when they change the format.

My preferences for download are:
 OFX
 then CSV
 I have found QIF to be unreliable, so now use the first 2 preferences.

 It is easy to save the setup to use csv files, but OFX just works, so is my
first preference.

 My bank only offeres qif or csv, so I use CSV there, & my Credit Union uses
ofx or csv, so I use ofx.

 One really frustrating thing with my bank is if an account is closed (for
instance when you lose a credit card),  then the bank will not let you view
your online account, but you can get a printed statement from a branch,
which for some could be a 1000Km round trip (from branch closures)! Archaic!
