Being in a group has the added advantage of getting shit done much faster and progressing at a greater rate, and the social aspect, but both are enjoyable playstyles.
I find that living near friendly neighbors who are willing to trade gets you the advantages of being in a group and of playing alone. You aren't obligated to do stuff for them and you can do things at your own pace, but if you need help or if they need help you'll be there for each other anyways. Truly the best of both worlds.
