In the past I have used paper RTW tickets but given what I have perceived as a general consensus here for e-tickets, on the last re-issue I went with an e-ticket for the remaining segments. Previously, I had made various routing changes periodically by phoning the AA RTW desk and then when I was finally ready to have the ticket re-issued, I would go to the AA (or other One-World) office and have the re-issue done. Then it would only be at this final stage that I was charged with a single re-issue fee (even though I might have made several itinerary changes along the way). Today, I phoned to have the next part of my ticket changed, figuring that I would change other parts later when my plans became clearer (but before I took the next flight). However, today I was told that the reissue fee would be charged over the phone now and any changes next month or later, would incur new reissue fees. I hadn’t realized that this was a difference between paper tickets and e-tickets. Having the opportunity to make periodic changes without being charged until the need for reissue (i.e., before the next upcoming flight) seems to me to be a major advantage of paper tickets. I’m sure that this point must have been discussed in detail here but I never noticed it.
