Pen. Paper.
Every time I see someone taking notes on a computer, they start typing whatever they hear, word for word. Pen forces you to slow down. Makes you organize the concepts, highlight the important things, summarize.
But who knows. I just know it works for me. Plus, I hate lugging around a laptop everywhere I go. Composition book is lighter.
