I do a mix. I find when I pull out and make a 90 degree turn onto the highway, I want to shift up before the steering wheel returns unless I'm really being aggressive - even then, I think I can get pretty close to redline before the paddles are easily reached.

So, I tend to hit the stick for 1-2 those times, and use the paddles the rest of the times.

Though I wish the paddles were a little softer to use, and a positioned a little better for my (ingrained now) 9 and 2 driving position. At 10 and 2 I would think both paddles are a bit of a reach. The Ferrari's look like they have their paddles setup to reach 10 and 2, and the F1 cars turn with the wheel.
