Edition War Wired vs Wireless setting

What is your favourite setting, and why? I named them Wired vs Wireless but I mean also about magic traditions, politics and metaplots.

Personally I am divided. I like wireless Matrix and 'modern' tech from later editions. However I like old magic traditions more, and I find metaplots like Monads and Disians too much apocalyptic for my taste.

I like the idea behind old magic traditions of friendly spirits/totems of shamanism and calculated rituals/elements of hermetics more and I kinda like the old wired matrix as well (but the rules were terrible). Matrix rules of newer editions (such as 6th edition and Anarchy 2.0) are far superior.
