What a great question. I learned a lot of reading this article as well.
Any type of exercise is great for your health. There is much debate about this subject but I found some really great information on Discovery Health.com that explains in great details the advantages and disadvantages of cardio vs. weight training.

As you can see there are several advantages and disadvantages to each of the exercise regimes. I guess it would really depend on your preference if it is 'really that important to you'.
I tend to like to mix up my workouts. I hate running (although I force myself) I love to use weights, Yoga, aerobics and kick boxing. Krav Maga is fantastic. I started it about a month ago and it is great. It is a mixture of self defense and kick boxing. GREAT CARDIO.
