Default backing fabric

Do you prefer to buy "real" backing fabric, or do you piece the backs of your quilts? I have done both, but I am wondering if one is "preferred." I realize either works. I have rarely bought backing fabric, as I have found it expensive. I did notice last weekend that Hobby Lobby now carries backing fabric, and not just the wider muslin like they had before. I may be using my coupon and splurging more on the wider backing fabric.

So, that is my question. Do you lean towards the wider backing fabric or do you piece the backs...or do you prefer one more than the other?

Just curious, I guess, and I realize it doesn't make any real difference.
