Depends on your grinder, but generally whole beans is going to be better. I grind every morning, generally on beans that have been roasted within the last month. If you want to drink high end coffee it can be a pretty expensive hobby/habit. If you put a lot of cream or sugar in your coffee, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The other thing to consider with whole bean vs ground coffee is how you are planning on brewing your coffee. The way it comes ground is probably more suited for a drip brewer unless you are buying it espresso grind, which then it would be very fine ground.
