Guitar Rig - FX Bin or Insert Effect?

I have a question for all the guitarists who use Guitar Rig (or Amplitube etc) in Sonar X1:
Do you place Guitar Rig in the guitar track fx bin, or do you place it in an insert on the track?

The reason why I am asking is because I have experimented with putting GR in an insert bus - and it sounds way, way better than having it in the fx bin. 

Please tell me how you use Guitar Rig.

    I have mine on the guitar track fxbin so it's easier to find and open up. I've never tried it on a bus, I just think that it makes my bus pane more clutered, but if it sounds better then why not?

    If its on a bus, then you can hear the unafected and effected audio with the wet and dry settigns. If thats what you want, then you put it on the bus. Use what wever works for you in the situation at hand

    Yes if you insert a send to that bus, no if you output the track to the bus.
