All of these things are personal choices, but I can't imagine doing most of my Finale work in anything but scroll view. If I'm moving around in the score to look at things, copy things, etc., I don't want to have to worry about figuring out what page to go to and then moving around on that page. I don't want to see Finale attempting to do page layout while I'm working -- although I'm glad that they introduced automatic music spacing a few versions back. I usually don't switch to page view until all notes, articulations, and expressions are entered and I'm ready specifically to tweak the page layout.
