I posed this question in the note 2 forums when I had that phone. Which do you prefer, stock or 3rd party? I personally use SwiftKey. Always have.
 
I like the number keys on the stock keyboard, but I installed my favorite SwiftKey. It just predicts my inputs better.

I've used swiftkey since I got the galaxy s3. Swift key has been really laggy lately when I rapid text. Someone on here mention Kii keyboard on how its like swift but with the numbers on the top like the stock. I downloaded it n love it better then swiftkey, n best of all no lag while rapid texting :) ah yes n u can have emoji plug in.

I've been using the stock android 4.2 keyboard. Downloaded the apk file and installed. I had the nexus4 and really loved that keyboard.

I'll switch between KII and SwiftKey all day. I love both. SwiftKey may be better for predictions but the number row on kii is a major plus. Maybe you can change the settings on SwiftKey to rapid from accurate to help when you type faster

I've tried using kii, it's great! I also used Swype before, and that's okay, but I find myself also going back to SwiftKey, especially now that I have Flow. =)

I tried the stock keyboard for a bit and although I like the design the lack of auto correct is a definite issue.
 
SwiftKey on my GS4 and Note 10.1 Tablet. Started using it on my GS3. It is all a matter of personal preference.

I finally went back to Smart Keyboard Pro that I was used to on my old phone. I like the 10 key number pad option.
 
I bought swiftkey for my wife's HTC One and she loves it. That being stated, on my S4 I havent switch. I know the keyboard with the S4 is like a lite version of swiftkey. I really don't care about autocompletion and other features. I guess the big difference is how much do you use your keyboard. My wife does around 7K texts a month. I may do around 20-30 texts a month if that.
 
I was looking for auto text shortcut feature like iPhone and found A.I.type keyboard. Lots of customizations and supports multi languages as well.
 
I started using the swiftkey flow in the stock keyboard and actually find that I like it better than the actual swiftkey
