Dave,
I can't speak for everyone - but I've done both. What I've found is:
1. you have more control on how much paint is removed when you sand,
2. I've had problems with the chemical stripper apparently etching into the
metal and paint NOT sticking,
3. the cost of stripper and the sandpaper is about the same.
I must admitt that I used a lot more stripper before I got my air driven
DA sander. Sanding the body by hand is for the birds.
