The wisest thing is what Konketsu said "the amount of work you want to do while on stage". In an ideal world I'd love to go the full hardware route, have a proper stage to play on, a house engineer and a real soundcheck. Unless your playing in super clubs the reality is often very different. I use Ableton with a small controller, depending on weather I'm going to be in a tiny dj booth or not I bring other things, vocoder, kaoss pad. I also like to avoid the complete improv and prefer to have the basics set up in Live that I can add to, mix up, and play over. So I'll stick to the original arrangements but I'll have extra parts, breakdowns, transitions, fx etc that I can mix in.
