Seconded. T&M leads to unproductive discussions, like when you had to try out different libraries to get the job done. The client can easily ask why you didn't know library X was the best candidate before you spent time they pay for to investigate.

The answer is T&M. Btw, they can be combined. Fixed price on the knowns, and T&M on the unknowns. Put it this way, I've seen 5x more fixed price projects go sideways than T&M. That's how bespoke work works best.
