I honestly do both. When I'm running something I want the output from (some to yank), I'll run in a buffer.

If doing file manipulation, CLI, etc. etc. I'll ctrl-z out.

I do the opposite of you pretty often too, always trying to `fg` a non-existent vim

Hmmm. I hadn't thought about being able to yank output from a command... That's a really good point. (Honestly I would probably use 'xsel -bi' and ':r !xsel -bo', but that's pretty ugly.)
