I don't buy physical floppies much because for the series I want to read the comic stores tend not to have them in stock. I also don't have a lot of space so storing floppies would be a big issue. So if I really want to follow a story as it happens (i.e "HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ISSUE!"), I go digital. The only time I do physical floppies is if I get them for free or if it's a series that isn't going to be collected or digitized anytime soon.
