For me, I choose ibuprofen more often than paracetamol because 1) paracetamol carries a fairly serious overdose risk and is one of the common drugs people accidentally kill themselves with, and 2) paracetamol is not a true anti-inflammatory and doesn't help nearly as much with arthritis. Ibuprofen doesn't just relieve pain but actively reduces inflammation.
