Healpix:

  • systematics maps in DES are in healpix
  • equal area means it's easier to define a galaxy overdensity
  • requires repixelizing ACT maps, but should be doable with an alm-based transform that preserves power
  • deprojection and mode coupling extensively tested here

CAR:

  • CMB and lensing maps are natively produced here
  • repixelizing systematics maps to CAR might introduce a transfer function (can't use alm-based due to sharp edges, need to interpolate)
  • curved sky mode coupling and deprojection are experimental

I'm leaning towards healpix.
