Much of it comes down to personal preference. If you like having shelves lined with your games that you can browse and reminisce, you'll want to go for physical. If you prefer the convenience and speed offered through digital purchases, and don't want game boxes lying around, then you'll want to go digital.

Do physical games take up more space on switch?
Yeah, they do. Although they take up much less space than downloading the digital version from the Nintendo eShop, it still uses your storage. It takes up space when installing, which is when you first put the cartridge in your Switch. It also takes up space when you have save files.

Are physical games cheaper?
Digital Games: Price. Physical and digital games usually release at the same price. However, a physical game usually reduces in price much quicker than its digital counterpart. If you're looking to buy a new copy of a game a few months after it released, the physical copy is usually cheaper.

Do physical games download faster than digital?
It installs faster because you no longer have to download the main game files, since they're already on physical media. When you buy a game digitally the main game files are downloaded and then installed; with a physical disc you already have the main game files on the disc so you only need to install them.
