Buy powder. Cheaper and will give better results, it's what most dish washers are actually made for. (See https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04)
Surprisingly the laundry pods were cheaper per load than the powder last time we were at Costco. We always get whatever option is cheapest per load, and for some reason the pods were the best value. Value and convenience? I'm in!
If you calculate it to be cheaper for you, awesome! I hope you get a good deal! For me where I buy my stuff online the box of powder and glass shine liquid and salt is rated at 160 uses for €15. The same brand has 80 pods for €18. And I adjust the amount of powder to the amount of dishes and how dirty they are. And if there's no glasses I don't use the program so the liquid isn't used. So I'm getting more than 160 uses out of it too.
You still want the prewash, so grab some powder to supplement the tabs. That's what I do when the tabs are cheaper. A tab in the closed cup and a little powder in the open one and my loud old dishwasher produces perfect results every time.
