Everyone is different so I think its kind of a "lets start here and see what gives" type thing.
I've done great on Copaxone for 4 years. Is it the med or just remission? Who knows but I'm not changing a thing for now. Personally in my mind I do feel that being on a dmd is a very proactive move and maybe just feeling positive has an effect, don't know.
Good luck with whichever you pick and remember you can always switch.
