Which do you prefer: Handheld router, or router table? (sh.itjust.works)

Until fairly recently I owned just one router. I bought it, immediately installed it in the table it came with, and it has come out of the router table exactly once since then to cut a couple slots. I have since bought one of those little "trim routers" but I still do the bulk of my routing work in the table.

I'm curious, how do the rest of you prefer to work? Do you mostly use your router handheld or in a table?

Well obviously I use my network router in the table and I use my switch for handheld work. Sometimes I'll even haul out a hub if the job requires an old school touch.

With all that I'm sure you could build some nice servers, if you ever decide to start hosting!
