But I say, make whatever makes you happy and there are many great quilts made both ways!

I once hand quilted a queen size fat batted quilt 1/2" apart.
I hated working on that quilt, it was horrible; it took me 6 years to finish it and then I gave it away. DH's Aunt & Uncle just love it.
I don't like quilts that have poly batting, as it makes me sweat. :( I like cotton batting a lot better, its easier to quilt by machine(no slipping & no bearding).
