there's no right or wrong... whatever works best for you is best for you.
i've used the ex-800 on recordings, and i know plenty of people who have
used junos on recordings.
tom (read the story of the moog slayer) wanted me to find him a juno-106.
i tried to talk him out of it, based on his style of music and programming
(among other factors). he didn't listen to me, but he did get rid of it
after a month.
in a lot of ways i could say that my K5000r or FS1r is "better" than my
ex-800, but the ex-800 is still useful because it can do things that my
other beats can't do... one of which is contributing weird bleepy noises
for under $120.
