If Quarks support was better for native files, I’d use native every time, depending on file size. A 2 or 3 gig psd can bog down a rip! If it’s InDesign, I’d place a native file and depending on the workflow, I’ll print to postscript on the host machine, preferably not over the network. But then you have to factor in things like copying files locally and version control…
