A bit of both.
While 1200/600 are the preferred among classics because of accelerator/indivision/hdd, WinUAE (thanks Toni) is practical for preparing CFs or for a quick look at something fetched from the internet (mostly intros and demos). I like also FPGA such as Minimig, FPGArcade and Myst. The last one is the FleaFPGA. |

I only use emulation for what emulation excels at; checking things while at a café.

Do I get extra points for using real floppies instead of a Gotek or WHDload?

Real Hardware.
and real Floppies, cheers Marchie =) WinUAE is great - thanks Toni! - and often very useful. But then I love to run the software on the real thing. One of my main motivations is to repair hardware (if possible), keep it in fine condition or tune it a bit. 2017: A500, A600 2018: A500, A600+HD, A1200+HD+1220 or BC1208 |

Both. Each has pros and cons.

Real hardware only for me.
A few days ago I tried out that UAE thingy. Didn't work because it needed a kickstart ROM, which I would have to either buy or extract from my A1200. At that point I lost interest - why bother wrestling with PC crap when I have real hardware? 1987: A1000 1991: A3000 1992: A600 1993: A1200 Sadly, due to various reasons (theft, needing money, stupidity) I only have the A1200 today. But if I could have only one Amiga the A1200 would be it. |

Real hardware.
UAE is a fine tool to help create media for real hardware, virus scan, etc. but does zero for the nostalgia fix had when using actual hardware. If not for the nostalgia, why? |

Real HW for now. Once I no longer have the need to attach any physical expansions or interfaces to the computer, then it might be time to go 100% emulation.

real hardware, amiga 1200.
Buying an 500 soon. But the most important thing is: a proper crt monitor. 2d graphics does not look good on an flatscreen. |

Most of the time real hardware (A500 ACA500+), occasionally FS-UAE or Mist for AGA stuff.
