It has to be whatever suits your needs.
I am extremely happy running DC with the no longer available train engineer controlling both locos and points. I was at an O gauge indoor/outdoor DCC railway last Sunday. Whilst I can see that DCC offers plenty of potential the owner seemed to have to press a lot of buttons to run different trains.
I will be moving some way towards on board batteries and r/c. This is a solution that works well and gives plenty of running time per charge with Bachmann locos. You can just have a box car to hold batteries and receiver with a connection to the loco. This reduces the investment required.
