Terra-Cotta Or Not?

I have never really liked terra-cotta pots but I may not have given them a fair chance. I have only had old pots a scavenger friend of my dad's would bring.  I am hoping my artist friend will paint one real pretty for me.   But I would like to know how long they last and if you can even paint them. If so what kind of paint is best, etc..  I have always had plastic pots and I know it is hit and miss when it comes to them lasting.  And, they are so boring looking. The pretty ceramic ones are expensive and break easy.  I have one of those fancy ceramic pots and most of the time when I put a plant in it is dies or starts dying.  

 I think I will get a few when I buy soil just to test it out.   Any thoughts from you? do you like one kind over the other, if so why.
