I buy a mixed bag of both but most of my purchases are low value commons so the likely hood of them being fakes is quite slim, imo.

If I were a big roller and was spending thousands on a card, then by all means, I want it slabbed, but that still doesn't guarantee it is authentic based on what I have learned since I joined here, sadly.

Any time I purchase raw vintage cards, I check out the seller as much as I can, but, even then, there are few guarantees.

If the cost is more than a few dollars, I prefer to get a graded version.

Even that isn't fool-proof, but I consider PSA and SGC further up the hobby food-chain than I am and rely on that difference.
