IGBT or MOSFET: Choose Wisely

http://www.irf.com/technical-info/whitepaper/choosewisely.pdf

"In the battle between MOSFETs and IGBTs, either device can
be shown to provide the advantage in the same circuit, depending
on operating conditions. How does a designer select the right
device for his application? The best approach is to understand the
relative performance of each device"

As you say, the IGBT is slower, and that's referred to in the pdf.

However, you might find that lengths of wiring may introduce
artefacts that didn't appear on paper and a transistor may be
more suitable than a FET. Or not, but it's always worth having
a Plan B
