I have both, but I much prefer longwings. I have some old Florsheims, leather Aldens in black (Barrie) and brown (Modified last), vintage Dexters with a great patina, and some Allen Edmond shell cordovan in #8. I think longwings are great with jeans and dressed up...by far my favorite shoes. Generally, my wingtips (light brown Church's and some dark red suede Edward Green for Kurt Geiger) are more for dressing up for work. I treat good old double soled Americana long wings as my go to shoe, I'll wear 'em with almost anything.

The only two Anmerican shoes I've ever wanted were cordovan high vamp penny loafers and cordovan Long Wings.
I'd also add some cordovan plain toe bals and leather souls ultimate Indy. However, pennys and longwings are a must.
For some reason, they just seem dependable. They will never change.

^ Florsheim or Johnston and Murphy?
I just bought my second pair of beat-up florsheim shell cordovan long wings on ebay. I'm not sure I can ever go back to regular leather wingtips.

Allen Edmonds McAllister via eBay is a no brainer.
An alternative is Alfred Sargent for Thin Red Line. According to the thread on their recent sale, a pre order deal is coming up, shoes are priced around 120 GBP:http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=112069
