Hex grid question

Is it better to build a map out of hex grids or to paint the hex grid on a solid map using an algorithm and bitmap painting?

I'd say it depends on what you're going for, although I think using tiles to build one might be more convinient.

Makes sense...
I seem to have lost my key, so I won't be playing in 3dgs. Probably better not to get sucked into nostalgia anyways.
