Theoretically real time should play better, but most I've played are just button mashers (SO3, Rogue Galaxy are the prominent ones that come to mind).
The problem with real time combat is, with only so many buttons, you're really limited in what you can do, and any time you want to do something not assigned to those buttons you're opening up a menu anyway, which just ruins the flow of battle.
So, I pick menu based. I think real-time combat can only be done on a PC (remember Diablo II where you assigned like up to 12 or 16 skills to hot keys?) where there's a crapload of buttons and you can actually think while you play.
So summary: action + strategy = best, but right now action = button mashing and little strategy, so turnbased with little action + strategy > realtime with button mashing.
