Like you say, there are always gonna be particular cases where gui/cli is better but for the general case I think it has to do with if your workflow is more terminal or gui oriented in general. I think that many of the tradeoffs in gui/cli git aren't really unique to git so I think sticking with your general preference in that are makes sense.
Since I'm a vim user (shocking, I know) I actually use git through the fugitive plugin a lot, but it's a fairly thin wrapper around the cli interface so most things are pretty much just the same as using the cli except that you can call them as vim commands instead (
:Git push
instead ofgit push
and so on)
