For me it depends on whether I am making the model for the destination or the journey. If I am after the end result I would use whatever is best for the part. In most cases plastic is going to look more realistic than paper, no mater how well the paper part is made, but only if you can paint well. I feel the need to add non paper parts to higher quality paper models because the bits that are hard to do in paper stand out too much.
But if I am in it for the journey, I like to use just paper, to see how close I can come to the prototype. A case in point would be Fiddlers Green models. I think in most cases they look best completely made from the printed parts, even though they are often not terribly realistic.
