I think you guys need to do a survey of actual medical students and see what is prefered. Even that would be biased b/c students might favor their own method, but still. I'm just saying that I've seen a little bit of both, and they both suck. Studying is pretty much the best way to learn anything...
Duh...of course, studying is the best way of learning anything...and if anything PBL requires you to actually open a book and study (actually many, many books).
I've a friend who is currently in her 2nd year at LECOM-Bradenton which is 100% PBL. One of the comments that she has made to me was that friends of hers who are taking lecture based classes haven't even opened their books and are totally using their handouts. Why even get books, if you aren't going to open them.
It's obvious that the exposure that you got of PBL was poor, and it is a shame since you are putting all PBL in the same category.
