This is my personal view if I am the theme user. I would say it depends on the theme features
If it’s a one page theme?
I will like to have all the options in the customizer window.
If it’s a niche/app based theme?
I will just use the customizer for basic options and setup all the other options in my very Theme options panel in Admin Area.
