With tactics I think it depends on why you are doing them. If you are trying to do high-volume basic tactics to build pattern recognition, there is just so much benefit to the increased throughput you can get on the tactics trainers that it can be worth it to try to take a disciplined approach (make yourself see the whole variation instead of playing the first move that looks winning). I think I can easily do 5 times as many per day on the trainer than I can on paper. If you are trying to train calculation, doing it on paper is a better way to keep yourself honest.
