Using either works well, but paddles do require you to get used to them. Most people today do not drive with two hands on the wheel, so the use of paddles is not going to be very fluid for everyone.
I have track raced, and for most road tracks, the paddles on my 2002 M3 SMG were fantastic and far better than using the joystick. Most tracks do not require you to completely or mostly invert the wheel. The training tracks/programs where you learn driving skills, like with the Performance Center, will have you doing much tighter maneuvers and when you would go to shift in the turn, you might not be able use the paddles.
My M3 was my DD also, and when just cruising around, I used the joystick. I only used the paddles when I was getting aggressive in curves or when hauling tail through traffic and doing lots of lane changes.
