Oh my goodness that will stir up the juices!
In my opinion technology is great. My plane has 2 garmin GNS430, 1 Garmin 296, and an Ipad with skydemon on it. If I get lost I am pretty poor.
In addition I know how to work the adf and I know how to track vor's.
I also carry a map and I find it quite interesting to look out of the window and look at ground features.
I think it is great to use all navigation features. If you can do them all and practice regularly you will be fine. I wouldnt pick one over the other.
For me its technology all the way as my primary choice. I would love to have synthetic vision. I imagine it is a great safety feature but it is currently too expensive but I am sure it will save lives over the traditional methods of nav which quite clearly dont give you the same situational awareness.
