At my company, we usually do the more in-person interview, but if we suspect you have potential and your performance is negatively impacted by the stress of the interview process, we propose a project interview to wrap up the decision. Since it's more time consuming we don't offer it up front, most people don't like them, but it's a useful tool to have to size up a candidate. The post-project debrief provides a lot of information on how you think and how you work, the end result is not expected to be perfect, or even complete, as long as the approach is reasonable and we can picture if the person-team fit is there.
