In my opinion, this is like asking all of us what we like better, red or white wine. We are all going to have different opinions, and our reasons for liking one over the other will vary from person to person. I agree with the others that say to try both methods to see what YOU like best. You may decide you like the ease of QAYG, or you prefer the look of quilting a whole top at once. And once you get more experienced, you may change your mind! I used to drink nothing but cabernet, but have branched out into white zinfandels, pinot gris, and tequila. Not at the same time, though.
