Captive born vs. wild caught

I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on captive born vs. wild caught blue tongue skinks? I am looking to get one in the next month or so, and keep going back and forth on to get a captive born from a breeder or a wild caught from a local pet store(not a big name chain store like Petsmart, but one locally owned with a good reputation). I know the biggest risk from what I've researched so far is that a WC one is more likely to have parasites. What I've heard from people I've talked to is that a quick fecal can test for it, and then some panacur can treat it easily. So, what are your pros and cons of the two?
