Im sure everyone has tried both methods, but what do you use most frequent in rounds?

I've started to use the draw/fade method when the wind is more than 8-10mph. It seems to be slightly easier than aiming when it's a direct crosswind, and the rollout of the ball is straighter/more predictable. Still hopeless on the diagonal winds though.

I've found myself solely using draw/fade and not aiming my character at all. It's taking me some practice since side-slopes on fairways become something I have to contend with a bit more ... but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Been able to stay pretty competitive in Web.com even with that strategy -- and in fact, it seems like my strongest rounds to the field are when winds are between 10-13 mph. That seems to be the sweet spot for using the draw/fade strategy, at least for me.

Don't ask me... When the winds are above 10mph... Nothing works quite right. 13 and above are nonsense. I try both in heavy winds but never get it right.

I find judging the distance harder than judging side winds.
Normally I can work it out but add elevation and loft to the equation and I'm quite often 2 clubs short or long. Any tips?

mix, winds over 10 aim and box for sure, if under depends on where the wind is coming from.

Most of the time I just let the wind curve my ball (and of course I aim accordingly).
Only in some special situations (eg. if I can't aim far enough to one side because of a hazard/tree/etc) I use fade/draw to keep the ball "straight".

I'm exactly the same, I think it's more through force of habit after playing golf games since the first PGA Tour Golf game on the mega drive (Genesis over the pond) |

More aiming of the body, but I use both depending on the lie, shot situation and conditions.

Scenario dependent. I use all three methods, but I trust the mixture method the most in higher winds, whereas I use both of the first two moreso in lower winds.
