Depends:
- for drawthread people go directly on tablet because you can easily sketch on it
For anythign that doesn't use direct detail I would use direct from tablet.
However when drawing: I draw a draft first, mark what has to be inked etc. but do not colour the drawing.
Scan it, load into Illustrator, make new layer and make lines with the tablet.
For what I have to ink I don't use one line with the ink tool, I go around the black line down where it has to go and back up to close it. This way you can easily pull the sides if you want the drawing to have slightly thicker areas and thinner ones and not just one thick/thin line.
For more detail: drawing -> tablet
For quick sketches: direct tablet (sketsches, storyboards, character draft for 3D anything like that)
