I don't have a preference, but I'd rather have on-board video if I can get it. 
The case I've got won't take an add-on video card, as it would be right up 
against the case: read, no room for a fan and no circulation for a passive card.

Having a separate card also means extra complexity dealing with two video 
outputs. Why make things more complicated when I can get a package solution?
