@Maulrus pretty much summed things up: whatever lets you get the words down. I'd add that if pure productivity is required (assuming you can type at a reasonable speed), directly onto the computer is going to be a much faster way of working. You type faster than you write, and eventually you're going to type it up anyway.

That said, I still like writing freehand first because I can do it anywhere, I like the physicalness of it ("look what I made!"), and the process of typing up actually becomes the first edit.
