With a paper system, the biggest inefficiency is entering data. If you are using tablets for data entry, it will be even slower (lack of physical keyboard). However, if you are using the paper and the tablets to collect different data, then you could have a very powerful system. Making this system could take a while though.
There are a lot of really good apps already in existence that I would recommend checking out. Check out this thread I started earlier this week for a few suggestions

Because you are probably low on time and/or programmers, your best bet is to try an app someone else made and work from there. But if you are using one of these apps, you have a full system already and paper would probably just slow it down.
TLDR; Use an open source app, don't use paper unless you have the time to set up a system that give enough benefit to outweigh the hassle of paper data entry.
