Isn't this question subjective?

Before choosing a birth control method, think about:

Rightwards Arrow Your overall health
Rightwards Arrow How often you have sex
Rightwards Arrow The number of sex partners you have
Rightwards Arrow If you want to have children someday
Rightwards Arrow How well each method works to prevent pregnancy
Rightwards Arrow Possible side effects
Rightwards Arrow Your comfort level with using the method

I would agree with the above poster that it depend's on the individual. However, for me I use condoms for both prevention of STDs and pregnancy. I also take the birth control available through planned parenthood (condoms can break). Although I have never had any side effects I have friends who have had terrible side effects. So the type of birth control varies greatly from person to person.

Very unlikely, isn't it?

It is unlikely, however it happens. Plus taking BC for me helped with hormonal things while I personally believe a condom should almost always be used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Of course all of these things vary on the individual and their body and their beliefs.
