I dont have a specific answer for you.  I havent used blend myself. But I personally prefer to use one system for the sake of simplicity.  My personal preferance, is to use pixels.  I have photoshop and all my other programs to use that.  I think it would be simpler to use the same unit of measure throughout.  I hope this helps.

I'm not sure I follow your question exactly. Pixels, picas and points are units of measure, not file formats. Of those I'd say you're more likely to use pixels when working on assets for Blend. I'm not even sure you can use picas in Blend. Picas are mostly used for print design work, and even at that, they aren't used to prevalently.

If you question is about how to get work from Expression Design to Blend, the best thing to do would be to export your artwork as a XAML file and bring that into Blend. Let me know if that's what you're trying to do, and if you need help with that.

My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.
