I use both. I tend to use my mirrors more. I go from my flat mirror to my convex to my drivers side camera and repeat as I drive. I generally leave my camera on drivers side on all the time. I only switch once in a while to the passenger side or rear view. Gives me a VERY good over all picture of traffic passing me. When I pass and come back to the right lane I do the same but set my camera for the passenger side. Works well for me.
