I’d plan to do both tbh - controls can be a meal stop or just get a stamp/answer a question on the card.
If you’re well fuelled you can either decide to skip queues at a control and just get a stamp if you’re feeling good, or take a well earned break, sit down and refuel.
Eat enough to enjoy the day and remember it’s all about doing it in your own time/at your own pace. (These are what I normally forget and so bonk/DNF/hate myself and everyone else with 100k to go).

I'm entering the Rowlands Ramble this weekend. 213k from Kingston / Surbiton.
Quite long, but it would tick your box.
Will be my first Audax event, so you wouldn't be the only newbie there.
A question for the Audax veterans in this thread;
Usually on a long ride like this, I would stop a few times for coffee / food.
Should I plan to do that at Controls?
I'm a bit unclear if Control = 'stamp a ticket' or 'stop for cake'
