Do whatever takes the least amount of your time, and results in most comfortable writing experience. The important part is writing, not the technology.

I guess I should note that for my blog (https://codewithoutrules.com) Jekyll lets me:

1. Write in Markdown, useful for technical writing. 2. Have it look decent.

But if I was doing non-technical content I'd possibly go with something hosted. And for all I know wordpress.com or something has the markdown plugin setup by default these days.
