Decide on a pixelization for the analysis

Healpix:
- systematics maps in DES are in healpix
- equal area means it's easier to define a galaxy overdensity
- requires repixelizing ACT maps, but should be doable with an alm-based transform that preserves power
- deprojection and mode coupling extensively tested here
CAR:
- CMB and lensing maps are natively produced here
- repixelizing systematics maps to CAR might introduce a transfer function (can't use alm-based due to sharp edges, need to interpolate)
- curved sky mode coupling and deprojection are experimental
I'm leaning towards healpix.
