I don't understand that logic. Why is analog (like the CD4016) better than digital when dealing with digital signals? Please expand on that reasoning.

Quality-wise it may not be. There may be no difference at all. I simply said that I might go with an analog switch because I already found one.

One chip: 40 cents
Hmm, I was thinking the NLAS44599 was 30 cents, but I must have been thinking of a different device. The 74ls153 would be a cheaper option, but after starting the design I realized I need two DPDT "switches". Now the question is whether to use one 16-pin device with analog switches on a board with little space, or use two 16-pin devices with digital switches on a board with little space? I forgot to mention, by the way, that I only have one I/O pin available to control both DPDT switches.
