Which is a better chess workout, playing blitz or online? This has been brought up before, but if you compare playing blitz games at a faster pace and playing online correspondence at a much slower pace which would be more beneficial for developing important chess skills?

Blitz develops tactics, long games develop strategy more. Think that's what most of the threads have boiled down to...
