After years of experimenting, I've concluded that it's not the medium, it's the ritual.
Things like meeting minutes I take electronically, but I still use physical notebooks as my main idea capture. I then go through and transcribe the notes onto the computer if I feel like follow-up action is needed.
I find that the most valuable part of the process is reviewing those written notes. Theoretically, I should be able to do the same thing with a program like Evernote, and I've tried that. In practice, I wound up taking shortcuts.
Going through and re-evaluating or adding to your original thoughts when moving from one medium to another is a valuable exercise.
