Generally I buy most of my 'normal' journey tickets on the internet, most of them advances. I pick them up (weeks before the travel date) from the machines in the car park at Temple Meads, which are rarely busy even at peak times.
Day returns when away on hols, day return Paignton - Dawlish for example when I don't know in advance what day we'll be travelling I buy from the ticket office.
Rovers and day rangers, you don't have any choice as a rule, most of them can't be got from a machine. Travelcards and PTE day rovers usually can, so I do buy those from a machine.
