I prefer point buy for both CRPG and PNP games.
Mainly because I like to play around with mechanics, and honestly what's the point of rolling randomly in the game? As someone said before, combat is that main focus in games so all it does is affect how easy or hard it will be to kill things.And honestly there plenty of fun and arbitrary ways to makes things trickier than gimping my rolls. And in PnP I can afford not be so combat oriented unless otherwise so I like full customization.
Anyway rolled stats is best for either really short or not so serious games where having numbers in either extreme won't be an issue
