I would still take the "forwarders" route as a first choice and only
change if needed.  As you said, "it depends", and that is true of many
areas where choice is involved.  Kind of why YMMV is a good caveat. 
FWIW, my experience only spans 4 ISPs in Asia and in all cases the
"forwarders" configuration worked well.

As an aside, I wonder why your email client seems to be ignoring the
"Reply-To:" in this list mails.  I'm "trained" to only use "Reply" with
this and other mailing lists and only just noticed that doing so
resulted in a "To:" to you only and I had to manually adjust.
