It is best to use what you and your doctor believe will work best for you. Both have side effects, both have good success in preventing pregnancy.
Depo Provera is concidered long term protection, many women have a 12 or more month delay in ovulation after just 1 injection. If you think you may want to become pregnant in a few months - DP is probably not for you. If you want to know there is almost no chance of conceiving for the next year, DP may be more convenient than a daily pill.
If you know you will remember to take your BCP every day - BCP have been highly successful for the last 50 years.

Antibiotics rarely affect the birth control pill in general.
You can switch forms of birth control to what is most comfortable for you. If you would like to switch birth control consult your physician so that she/he can choose a birth control pill that is right for you.
The birth control pill and shot can't be compared in terms of "strength," as they contain different ingredients. The shot is more effective as it's harder to goof up.
It is definitely safer to switch from the birth control to the shot, as you have protection throughout. If a woman on the birth control pill gets a Depo Provera injection, she will have immediate protection against pregnancy. If a woman not on birth control pills gets a Depo Provera injection, she may have a delay in protection, depending on where she was in her menstrual cycle.

Not if you are on hormonal birth control (The Pill, patch, shot, IUD, ring) and used it as directed.
