My recollections of writing things are more vivid than when I type things. I think it’s easier for me to think back to things that I’ve written than things I’ve typed, but it’s not that big of a difference.
In general, I think most of my benefit for remembering stuff has to do with how much attention I’m putting into the speaker / class / presentation, and less on what I’m using to take notes. So it’s the actual memory of the event that’s useful for me, rather than diverting attention from it in the moment to take notes.
