I used to make chiptunes in a tracker called MadTracker using samples I either downloaded or recorded from VSTi's. The difference with GameBoy-style programs like LSDJ (which is also a tracker) is that they generate the waveforms themselves, so you're as close to making "pure" chiptunes as you can get without using vintage hardware. I haven't actually tried Milky or FastTracker, but I assume they would be easier to make chiptunes in than LSDJ or Nanoloop; I find MadTracker easier to work with than programs written for emulators.
Like the Janszoon said, it's really just a personal choice. I really don't have the patience for those programs, but if you're having fun doing what you're doing then keep doing it.
