Physical. There's something really special about opening the box and holding the disc in my hand, it's nostalgic and reassuring as the product is in the palm of my hand. If I were to buy digital and have it mess up then I'd have to call support (assuming there was any) and deal with them, whereas if a disc doesn't work I can take it back to the store and swap it for a working copy.

Most importantly of all, if my account were to get lost or hacked then all of my games would be lost. In comparison, for that to happen to my physical games, someone would have to break into my house and fight me for them. If they got a hold of them, then at least they sort of earned them by whooping me.
