I have read a numbernumber ofof questionsquestions on SE regarding these but I still can't figure the exact difference wrt usage. Would it be true to say that I would probably use WP_Query for the majority of secondary loops and only use get_posts if I need the results returned in an array, or to put it another way is the main difference between the two the array vs object return, or is there some other major factor I should be aware of?
