Answer 1

I dont think these should be viewed as mutually exclusive alternatives.

I think AOP is great for tracing (i.e. logging method entry/exit and parameter values).

I still use regular logging as well:

1. For Info/Warning/Error Messages
2. For debug messages during development to see the value of certain variables or to see which if/then path is used etc.
