Cheap ETFs are (mostly) the better solution, also tradable during all opening hours of the exchange. cost reducing is so important.

The average index fund all-in expense is actually around 0.4 - 0.7% (Source: SPIVA) so I think its okay if you want an index fund at that expense ratio.

I would personally prefer index funds to ETFs because they force you to commit, lower tracking error amongst other benefits, even with a little bit more fees. Not easy to get though, as described below.
