Strip: What's the prefered method to get stations?

I guess this is a sort of opinion poll for all the wood strip builders. How do you prefer to get your station forms?

Paper is the least expensive I'd guess because they can be folded and put in an envelope. But paper can expand and shrink with changes in humidty and you still have to cut your own forms.

Templates made from hardboard or cheap plywood a little better with regard to getting the "true" shape intended. But a little more expensive to ship and you still have to cut.

CNC cut forms from 3/4 plywood give you precision but is the most expensive for material and shipping.

That's how I see it. So how about some other opinions?
