I'm not a veteran, but I haven't used RealBand for the first couple of years because of the learning curve of BIAB.

Now I use BIAB for rapid prototyping and then RB for the finetuning. Depending on what I'm doing I use Reaper for further processing the final result, mainly because I don't want to [accidentally] mess with the already desired result of RB.

RealBand offers more visual information than BIAB while BIAB is faster when changing some detail of a tune. In RB for instance it is easier to add a RealTrack for just a couple of measures -- maybe because you want to have the rhythm guitar player to play a different style for a single chorus.

For about two years I say that I wish BIAB and RB grew together. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. I'm happy with both programs, but there are some things that should have the same look and feel in both programs.
