Depends entirely on how much time you want to spend with preparations, and to an extent on how much combat you expect. It works well with custom-designed maps for every scene, it works equally well with blank grids that you laminate and draw on with erasable markers.

"Benefit quite a lot" isn't entirely accurate, you do need some sort of map and miniatures. Personally I'd try blank grids first, you can always upgrade later.
