is their view on which interface they would recommend for checking
mail, fetchmail/getmail/Evolution/Thunderbird, where one downloads all

I'd arrange them in increasing order of bytes transferred as:
Gmail - IMAP - Other web based mail - POP
(there might be a few special cases in Other web based mail that could
rank on the left of IMAP - Softhome.net, for example).
