Cartridge by far! No load times. The downside is price. I can't deny that. However I esp love SEGA Genesis carts shape and clamshell boxes. Thick manuals and Gunstars Heroes came with a fruit rollup! TMNTII on NES came with a free pizza! I never liked disc media much because easy to scratch and disc rot can be an issue. Switch carts don't have installs but still long load times, something old games didn't really have with very few exceptions. Not to mention durable. You can beat the shit out of carts and usually still work. May need to use a Q tip to clean the contacts but that's usually it. My 35 year old save of Super Mario World on SNES is still holding a charge somehow lol
