I highly disapprove of midis in a serious work. the reason being quality (i feel like there is not much control over note dynamics you can do), and that depending on the device, it will sound different than you intended it to be, which causes variable results.

musically speaking, pure midi is comic sans.

if you can manage trackers and samples, you can make interesting music without having to spend money or demand more PC power.

in the end, even choosing the correct "font" means nothing if the "text" is poor - so if your composing skills are very good, you're already in the right direction.
