i say that both can work and both can work very well. I loved exile 3 and return to krondor ( turn based battles)
but diablo 2 and baldurs gate, ff ect all worked well on reall time or near enough in ff's case.
both are good for me because i like to think about what to do next especially in games wherte you need tatcics or die. so i like to be able to think and then issue orders but i also like the realism of frantic fighting (which is sometimes scary) such as severance which you just dont get on turn based. There is a place for both types on the shelfs and rightly so.

but my favourite would be the baldurs gate battle system because you fight in the same screen as you move around in, unlike ff, and monsters rush you. it gives you a change to press pause and issue orders in pause, then when you take it off they do the orders, but you could fight anyway you wanted on it.
