Guitapima: I couldn't disagree with you more. I am a guitar first and foremost and I'd rather use a sim than miking an amp. As long as I like my technical performance, I can change any amp variable at any time.   My band recorded some songs in a traditional studio a while back. I got all the songs in their raw form and pulled them in to Sonar. I then muted out all the guitars (which were all miked - straight Les Paul in to a vintage Marshall). Then I re-recorded all the guitar parts and used GR/AmpliTube.  Then I a/b'd the song to the other four guys in the bands, not telling them what I had done. Do you want to guess which version all four of them chose? I liked it better as well because I could blend the sound to blend better with the other instruments. No YMMV, but the only best way is the one the users like most.
