Latino/a, since it is more inclusive.
I never was a big fan of using x instead of o/a, both due to habit and because the latter can be spoken without sounding unnatural.
None of them are equivalent to South American though...
Latino/a does not include people who don't identify themselves with masculine of femenine sex. So it's not "more inclusive". I understand habits because it's hard to change them (at least for most people). Anyway, I think it depends... "Latinx" written it's not that bad, pretty much easy to understand. As for spoken words, inclusive language uses letter "e", so it would sound "latine" (don't know if you speak spanish or not...)
I was saying that the definition of Latino/a/x is more inclusive than Hispanic, I wasn't talking about gender identity at all.
Considering that, yes, latinx is more inclusive, I should have phrased it better.
Personally, I use the masculine form as a gender-neutral form, as I've never heard someone using "e" like that. Since language is determined by usage, it all boils downs to habit indeed. Though, if someone I am talking to is offended by it, I have no problem changing it.

Hispanic refers only to the spanish speaking countries. Latino is more abrangent. If you want to use the "x" or "o/a" it's up to you.
