For workspeed, I would say Transport + Mix is the combo that really speed things up. You can save a lot of macros on the Transport and you bank 8 tracks at the time on the mix. You can also put plugincontrol over 8 tracks that isn't really doable over the four faders on the control (if you want them on the faders and not on the knobs, that is...). The Transport sits better in your right paw, then the transport-section of the Control - but you have to invest a few hours getting it setup to suit your workflow (and then I don´t just mean your PT workflow... - the only program where I feel Control is superior, is Final Cut X)
