Alan, There is no reason you can't upload to both E-QSL and LOTW.
I send in my logs monthly to both. E-QSL's really don't count for any of the major awards.
LOTW confirmations count for DXCC and WAS.

Seems what I'm hearing is that some do eQSL, some LOTW, others only paper... Reckon is there any harm in also doing LOTW ? How many do both ?

If you are chasing VUCC - LoTW currently is not configured for VUCC.
I still upload those logs however, in hope that if they ever do configure it for VUCC, my data is there.

Sebastian makes a great point, and the other side of the coin is LOTW contains all the information needed for Satellite VUCC. One would hope it will get added to the list soon.
