Ceramics or traditional car wax?

So after my new paint job last year I have been back and forth on which product to use to polish and preserve the paint.I tried a regular over the counter ceramic base spray on it and it worked okay I am still a fan of wax on wax off. Maybe it's just in my head but I feel I need to polish and rub on my car and really I think the shine is just as good if not better and I really don't mind waxing my car a couple times a year. Opinions?
