But different things work for different people, and whatever works for you is your best path. It's not very Zen-like to argue over these things.
Heh...well, there is a Zen story regarding argument, described as two monks locking lips with one another and covering each other with slobber. And then of course, "The more talking and thinking the farther from the truth."
In my opinion, thinking IS experience, however, I give "thinking" a rather broad definition.
