I have the same justification with study notes, and prefer typing most of the time for the speed and easy referencing.

Some people just like the tactility of writing. I have a fountain pen I enjoy writing with, and the process is fun, and result can be more pleasing to look at.

The slowness of writing also lets you stew in your thoughts a bit more. It really depends on how you like your catharsis.
