For me it depends on the weed.
Some weed is too dry and when you grind it turns to powder. Then when you smoke or vape it, lots of dust comes through the gauze and into your mouth lungs. In this case I’d rather pull apart by hand, or perhaps do a really gentle semi-grind.
If it’s cured nicely and isn’t too dry, then it’s fine to grind or do manually, either or.
I do also appreciate the amount of crystals you loose when you grind though, but this is more of an issue for weed that is cured to be dry.
