POPC or POPE?

Hi,

I know the chemical differences between POPC and POPE lipids provided with
the VMD membrane plugin, and Ive seen both used in simulations of membrane
proteins. My question is whether or not there is a prefered species for MD
simulations? Why? What is thought to be more accurate? Does it depend on the
protein you are modeling?

I am curious about any thoughts/ suggested reading along this line.

Thanks,
Charles Danko
