Should i record me playing drums or use a drum machine?

Hi, I'm in a high school rock band and we want to record. I play drums, and im not sure how to record them. Should I use a software on the computer and make the beat or record it with my friend's mixer? Everyone else in my band says I should record it, but it wont be perfect, and we'll have to fix it in the software anyway. then is there any advantage of manually recording? I have an electronic set by the way
