PDF for reading and wiki for reference.
Edit: TBH I mostly use my iPad at the table with well bookmarked PDFs to run games and to play (just less stress on my stenosis riddled back)

I prefer the old Palladium Books perfect bound and stitched…I have some heavily used books from 30 years ago that are still attached to the beaten up cover and spine. Hard backs only if it’s good binding and even then I’m kind of “eh” on them.PDF for reading and wiki for reference.

I've started to see the charm in boxsets after picking up Mothership, but I do think I prefer hardcovers to softcovers/"zine" type formats still. Spiral-bound is also amazing as Coil mentioned but pretty rare- I think the closest thing I own is Gloomhaven JotL.
Digitally I prefer a wiki format, but usually this is not available at a level of quality/accuracy that is necessary and is even rarer officially. PDF's are fine by me and Ctrl+F is quite nice.
I do think my opinion may shift if I get to run more things in person. The Standees in Mothership are charming and make me want to use them, customized dice are charming, and including maps/a screen is also charming and thematic. I also don't own any dm screen aside from the Mothership Basic Set stubby screen, yet.
The Cairn 2E box set seems especially smart because of how it comes with multiple player guides and I might pick that up next.

Full Disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help with the rendering. If I ever hope to get this project done, I need the assistance…

I prefer box sets. My current gaming group's main GM likes both the physical and PDF copies.
