Alginate is not as accurate practically as impression compound {unless u r very good in impression making} but its easy , time saving. i am taking PI with alginate . and i never encountered any problem in tray for border moulding.

Elastomeric impressions are the most accurate and easy to use

Alginate has good elasticity property and imp compound has tendency to compress tissue and record it in dat position which disturbs tissue in relaxed form

Alginate has disadvantages of dimensional stability but records undercuts well
