Default Coconut fiber

It seems that the general consensus of this group, when asked about
soil-less planting media, is to go the "well washed kitty litter" route. I
bought a bag in anticipation of having to repot all my plants. However, it
was also suggested that I try coconut fiber, as it was lighter. I understand
that it will disintegrate over a year or so's time, but by that time, I'd
have to repot anyway (right?). So it's the proverbial "6 of one/half dozen
of the other".

Which is better, and why? Also, in doing a search for coconut fiber, it
appears to be available in little blocks, like you would use for planting
seeds. But how would you repot a lily, with already established roots? So
far, I've only purchased new plants; I haven't had to repot them (new
experience!). Also, will lotus grow in kitty litter?
