Assuming * posessing all skills needed*, I would probably vote digital.

However, in real life, I think it's probably a matter of what skills you 
actually have that determines it.

Who was it that said, "When the only tool you have is a hammer, 
everything looks like a nail"?  My hammer looks a lot like analog 
tools/experience and my nails look like caps, OP-AMPs, etc.

But I think it was somebody here on this list who's made a MIDI synth 
out of a SID chip (Commodor computer sound chip) and I know there are 
other digital SDIYers.  Their hammers look a lot different.
