Gotta be proficient in both, so you can switch it up depending on the target.
As been noted, the younger set is more text oriented, but I've found it to be increasingly more abundant with 30+ crowd.
If I could use a boxing analogy: I generally use texting for a "warm-up" ie probing/pawing jab
Once the target is softened, and more openings (personal proclivites/tendencies) present themselves, I employ the more direct calling ie kidney shots. At this point I'm able to zero in on her likes and desires, plus HEARING me voice those things beat anything any emoticon I can type.
