Voice vs. text strongly depends on the participants. I, for one, have very poor aural memory, but very strong visual memory - I can quickly recall images, but not sounds. Thus, in a face-to-face conversation, I watch the other persons face and body language, and can mentally reconstruct the conversation using those visual hints (for example, to remember something stated earlier). Since I don't have any visual clues on a phone conversation, long phone conversations will inevitably lead to me losing the original point. Text, however, leaves me time to think about my point, and a hard log of everything that was said, for later reference. Plus it is obviously visual...

Obviously, a live meeting is always better, regardless, but I think it depends on the person as to whether they prefer phone calls or texting/email/IM. Then again, it's a lot easier to keep multiple conversations going with text (versus voice), which is generally what's happening with texting teens anyway.
