Amalgam is better for durability. Composite looks better and may have improved since 1999. I know they are x-ray transparent now so they can see what is happening under the filling. They weren't earlier. You shouldn't use composite for a large filing. Hope you have a good dentist that levels with you and isn't a seller.
I work for 30 dentists (50 over the years) and there is a real range of ability and quality. Some are sellers of treatments you don't really need.
