Default Gym vs. home?

Ok. So here's the big question: Do you prefer working out at the gym or buying the minimum equipment and working out at home (read: dumbbells, adjustable bench, jogging)

I can think of a few pros and cons for each. I can't decide if I should join a gym or buy weights for home. From your experience, have you found it better to invest in your own minimal equipment (I say minimal because that's all I can get), or join a gym?

Gym:
has all the equipment
don't have room at home or $$$ for lots of equipment
not get bored as easily, lots of choices for exercises and esp. cardio (right now, all I can do is jog outside and it's getting too cold for that)
experts to show me if I'm doing it right

Home:
I like to be alone when I work out
personal trainers
essential morning time saved not driving
shower, clothes, makeup etc. there (I have to go to work right after I work out)
don't have to fight others or wait to use equipment
open all the time
cheaper than gym
