I think it very much depends on the mission. I believe I fly a fair
amount
of IFR (30-40 logged hrs/year in actual) for a GA pilot. I rarely require
an IPC for currency, although I do them from time to time.

For local flights, in familiar terrain, VFR is easier and less hassle.

For longer flights, especially in unfamiliar areas, IFR is a lot easier.

In certain situations, the plan is to do part of the flight VFR, and
perhaps the approach IFR.

According to Richard Collins, the biggest harzard in IFR is the transition
to the approach. IOW, fly the whole thing IFR.

Also, fly as much IFR as you can; even in CAVU, it keeps you sharp and
provides some practice so that IMC is not such a SHOCK!
