Is it better to track raw or have a plug-in like reverb engaged while tracking?

First In the big picture "better" is probably the wrong question .
There are reasonable arguments to made both ways, so it's more a (what's your "preference" ?) question
And when it is used, it is much more common to track with a reverb on vocals than instruments
Second in most modern DAWs unless you choose the specific option to actually print/commit/freeze the track, by default the reverb will be instantiated as a "real time" plugin, and will not be irreversible or baked into the audio file
For me personally I tracked for so many years raw that it's a non issue, I can take it or leave it ...
