Personally I would rather buy yardage. I believe the precut fabrics are more expensive. Buying yardage allows me to add to my stash.
I purchased a "layer cake" for the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt I'm working on. There were 40 10" squares, and 31 beautiful coordinated fabrics. I don't think I have ever been in a quilt store that carried 31 fabrics from the same line that match so beautifully. For me it was a great convenience.
