I'm not good at spelling. Regular typing on phone keyboards with predictive suggestions is really helpful for me getting the spelling correct, because it gives good early feedback and can often susgest based off a full misspelling (though, I always get the impression that suggestions are not designed for my style of misspelling, for example I keep misspelling 'susgestion' in this reply and it can't cope with the extra s). The annoying side effect is that I sometimes end up with completely the wrong word. For me, Swype style is faster, if and only if I know how to spell a word. If I don't know the correct spelling, gesturing is useless. It predicts a completely different word. (Side note: unlike other teens, my spelling massively improved after I got my first cellphone at age 15 and used nokia's T9 predictive texting. Simply because after you made a mistake, it stopped predicting valid words)
