I use physical sim, but I think eSim is better in the long run.

I use eSIM, because it's so much easier when traveling overseas to get a physical data SIM than it is to get an eSIM. Many countries' regs prohibit eSIM sales to non-residents, weirdly.
eSim, that seemed to be the default for my provider/phone (Google Fi with Pixel). It works fine. The online activation seems to work okay, I've even moved to different Pixels without much hassle.
That aside overall I'm indifferent to using Sim or eSim.
Physical, because my telecom only supports eSIMs for smartwatches... Even if they offered it for mobile phones, I would prefer a physical SIM, so that I can swap it easily if I'm overseas
Both. I need two lines
