In yalls opinion which is better to use for contouring? I've always used a matte brownish color but I've seen a lot of MUA's use a cream product and just wondering what others like and why?

I feel like a cream would blend better into the skin and have a more natural texture, but only if you are also using a cream/liquid foundation. If you are using a powder or mineral foundation, then go with a powder contour.

I prefer powder contour no matter what type of foundation I use

I think powder is more subtle when used properly and cream just lasts longer n is easier to blend out.

I prefer powder as my skin gets oily and the cream contour just slides all over my face! x

I do both or just powder. Most times I'll use a darker concealer, blend it out & set it with powder. If I'm doing a quick face & don't have time for all that I'll just use powder.
