Script vs No Script - Which do you prefer?

I'm coming off the back of a three year Film & TV college course, with the third year starting in a months' time. I script everything I ever want to make, if I didn't my videos (which aren't live yet) would be an absolute train wreck.

Maybe it's because college has wired my brain to be more productive, but the videos get their shape fairly quickly and before you know it there's a rough draft saved in Word.

My family has recently been cat sitting for extended family who are on holiday in Italy, so I've been filming them both for a while, it feels strange shooting without a written script, but the footage will get a structure when it comes to editing. 25 Minutes of footage would be shopped down to 3 - 6 minutes.

See, I can't do full script, but it's why I do bullet points or talking points for my reviews. I'll take 1-2 hours of gameplay and cut parts related to what I commentate in my review audio based on talking points. Total video usually 5-7 minutes long.

I've never really written a script unless I'm going a skit or something stupid like that.
Sometimes I brainstorm ideas but they hardly ever make it onto paper.
Normally I just half plan what I want to talk about in my head and talk.

I always write a full script (apart from one time) and then stick to it. If I didn't, I don't think I would be able to make a video that actually made any sense, and I would be constantly pausing in the middle of sentences, trailing off, saying "um...", etc too much for me to be able to edit it out.
