Opinion on what works best for you (Roof Maker or roof tool)

I was wondering if most of you use the roof maker add-on or the basic roof tool.

I ask because I've been using the roof tool, but have been wondering how to do a sub-fascia that looks right. I figured just adding it as a beam would stick out from the edge of the roof plane. I thought the roof maker might give you more flexibility since it is separate components but haven't gotten a chance to experiment with it much as yet.

I make my fascias and subfascias using complex profiles applied to beams. For wood-framed roofs, I only model the sheathing.
