Vinyl for the experience, as Guldbamsen says above. I still have the first vinyl record I bought more than 35 years ago and still buy them if it's something special (Bowie's 'The Next Day', Calexico's 'Algiers', all the Decemberists and GY!BE albums).
But I have hundreds of all three media types along with Spotify, Pandora and Songza accounts since streaming is by far the easiest way to take your music with you. Have even found myself with headphones on streaming Spotify while flipping through vinyl stacks at used record stores. That's a good day.

I don't think it will replace owning music (or at least not very soon), but probably become more popular. There's to many people like me who like to own it and have it physically

Possibly some new service will be developed like 'data storage for personal streaming', where you just store your music collection in a server and access it from wherever you want and whenever you want with your password (including artwork and lyrics, why not?), without the burdain of taking space in your house or personal computer.
I'm too old and also like to scroll through the physical stuff on my shelves, but habits change and possibly 1 or 2 generations further they will find it crazy to keep physical records at home. How many paperwork at home has been replaced by electronic files? invoices and receipts, bank statements, salary sheets, photo albums and so many others.

Up until last year I probably would've voted cds, but I've been getting into vinyls lately and there's a reverence in the media, that I don't associate with the others. Maybe it's to do with size, or just the fact that you have to be more cautious with em... Anyway I love the small crackling, watching the needle slip into the groove, as well as the mad people who sell you vinyls.

For me it's probably 90%, but that's probably because a lot of what I liked, I streamed first.

CDs. I grew up with them being the norm, they sound great, and they're very easy to use and store.
But I also like Vinyl and Digital. Vinyl has nice and big artwork and they're usually real cheep; I love the things I can find for 2 bucks in a shop! Digital is covenant sense I don't have to go to a store or wait for it to ship, and I can easily burn them to CDs.

CD's most of the time (ease of use and I can't be bothered with a turntable) but digital downloads account for about 10% of my music buying if the price is much cheaper.
