Is buying music on CD, vinyl, cassette or via download best?

I started out with vinyl but now its CDS only. Used cassettes for awhile but very unsatisfactory, after multiple playings, would invariably break or otherwise go bad.
CDs are great, they take up less space and are lighter than albums.When moving, boxes of records are even heavier than boxes of books! Also, my experience is that that they are less prone to scratches and skips than records, assuming of course they are cared for properly.Handled by edges,put back in cases,not tossed around.
As for downloading, not for me. Its just like with reading, I prefer to hold a real book in my hands and not some electronic gadget.
