Both options are valid, I use Plex instead, but selfhosting people need to understand that there is beauty on the streaming route, pirate streaming route.
Honestly, the streaming way is less bothersome and with almost immediate results, so there's a lot of beauty in it.
I am a picky bastard so I want to make sure I'll be able to watch everything in 4K, without waits nor interruptions. Plus I watch a lot of old stuff that takes a while to get: American Gothic took me 6 months to get, I tried getting the DVD set first but realized the latter episodes weren't included.
