I think the medium that you are most comfortable working in is best. There are lots of publishers releasing books illustrated in both traditional and digital mediums these days. Publishers sometimes have preferences for styles, however. I suggest researching the publishers you are interested in approaching and looking at the types of books they publish. They may also mention preferences in their art submission guidelines – check their websites for those. The Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market book is a good resource as well: http://www.cwim.com/
