I'm partial to direct connects (lazy with the emails required for PBEM) but it doesn't really matter that much to me.
Being quite lazy myself (and prone to mail the wrong turn file in) I wrote a script which:
1) Copies the .trn file from my downloads folder
2) launches the game in question
3) emails the .2h file to the right place (this step waits on step 2 to finish)


So now for my PBEM games the only extra step necessary to take a turn is that I need to download the turn file (I've got a separate desktop shortcut for all my dom3 games, the PBEM ones just launch this .bat file instead). Not hard to set up, I highly recommend it for anyone doing multiple PBEM games.
