It's simple: if you take the time to learn the B-B-B system it will easily be the cheapest. I HAVE an SWCG but only because my lifestyle changed and I'm away from home a lot and it gives me peace of mind, but not because it's cheaper. I could buy about 12 years of Liquid Chlorine for what it cost me, and every 5 years I'll have to replace the cell...which costs as much as 5 years of LC as well.
The B-B-B system is simple and easy but you MUST give your pool 2-5 minutes a day, everyday during your swim season.
I can't imagine any reason to hire a pool service for a residential pool unless you are seriously physically challenged.
