    @beegC0de probably no exit conditions.

    If the language uses tail calls then ill use recursion, otherwise I'd be worried about stack overflows

    I always prefer iterative over recursion. However, it is about 5 times longer code and looks messy.

    As @neriald said, iterating is always preferred for me for many many reasons, but static is the better of the two imo

    Later I will figure out how to use a stack to iteratively walk a tree

    Excellent answers ya'll. I prefer iteration as well. I do C# and static recursion is expensive. It holds the call stack and all. Simple while true is more than enough.
