Try both
Spiros
Why don't you do both? - automation is great when you have time to set up an approach & then have the a/c fly it - but when you are in a hurry - say because ATC have changed the goal post - then the old fashion needles can get you out of trouble.
Last year I heard an A320 crew get themselves very very messed up when they found out that the ILS approach was actually an ndb/dme approach at the last minute....
