In regards to BIP38 (AFAIK the encrypted paper wallets): For a long time I did not see the benefit. However, I think these are awesome in case that you can only use an insecure printer. e.g. create wallets offline and then take them to a insecure by usb stick as a .pdf. Write the PW onto the wallet after printing. I guess there are other good use-cases but I don't know them.
BIP38 + strong passphrase shared using shamir's secret scheme. Your bitcoins can't be stolen and you can't lost them if you correctly store shares of passphrase and bip38 paper in different places.
