It's always preferable to have ram over VM, but the Mac's virtual memory scheme has always been quite awful. If not, Apple wouldn't be pleding to "fix it" in Copland, and you wouldn't have Ram Doubler to "fix it" as well. The speed hit I've gotten with VM on the Macs I've used is far more significant than my experience with Win/Win95.
