I have never played against a chess engine; I have never analysed a game afterwards with a chess engine; I have never owned a chess engine. Until you become a strong player I don't believe there is much to gain from it. Humans 100%.

I think it's better to play against humans, who are within -100 to +300 of your rating (+100 to +200 is best), for training games. If I'm preparaing an opening, I do play a few pratice games with a computer, but I don't think it's entirely neccesary. Just depends.
Main thing is to analyze your games carefully, no matter who or what you play them with.
