Cylinder is not the best word for it, the liner is what your talking about when you say wet/dry.
However the liner in some cases makes up the complete cylinder.
Wet liners in my opinion are the best, with proper tooling the liners can be removed from the block and new ones installed without much trouble.
Dry liners are generally thin sleeves that are pressed inside the cylinder, they do give the option of numerous rebuilds on one block but are not mechanic friendly and usually a machine shop needs to remove and install them.
You have issues of antifreeze leaking into the engine oil on a wet sleeve engine that you wont have with dry, but it's not common that they do that.
Either engine is ok but from a mechanic standpoint wet is better.
