I rarely use the paddles, always the shifter.

I disagree. Maybe we were travelling at different speeds through different sections of the track, but I needed to upshift just before getting out of hogpen onto the front straight. I still use the paddles though....on a track you never turn the wheel enough because of the speeds you are traveling/general principles of track driving to need to use anything other than the paddles.
On the street it is a different story. If i am making a low speed 90 degree turn I will occasionally use the stick to grab an up-shift if paddles are out of reach.

I have aftermarket extended paddles, and I only use the paddles. With the extensions I can change gears with a large degree of steering angle and my hands never leave the wheel.
Mine are like these.

As mentioned by others i use a combo dd and mostly paddles at the track..for some reason even at the track ill push down to 2nd in a hair pin or upshift to second with the stick when launching...i Like the paddles at the track allows for total focus on braking.
