I would continue to record the way you're most comfortable with. That way you can better concentrate on your performance.

For you that's likely moving backing tracks out of Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) into Cakewalk and recording in Cakewalk.

For someone new to recording themselves I would suggest recording in Band-in-a-Box. Then they don't have to learn additional software (a DAW), can alter song structure as needed, continue to finesse backing tracks to better match their performance and have the benefit of not having to export backing tracks.
