I´m considering buying some of the pedals I use most often on the QC, in thought that analog is better? May or can physical original pedals perform better then the ones on the unit?
analog is different not better because in sound there is no better or worse… its what you hear and like.
to my hear there is little to no difference in the pedal sector specially time related….

I use external pedals with my QC, but I focus on pedals with unique sounds that the QC does not have at the moment. Boss MD-500 is the main one.
QC covers all of the basic distortion tones I could ever need, whether by replicating pedals with overdrive-specific blocks, or with captures. This frees up my pedalboard for other weirder stuff.
Ultimately do what sounds good to your ears, but I would urge you not to let “analog good, digital bad” be a guiding principle.

Thank you for always giving good answers @DiffractionCircuit. Appriciate it. Sometimes I know the answer, but its always nice to hear others meanings and sharing of experience.
I would be sure you’ve exhausted what the unit is capable of rather than buying a pedal for a sound the QC can do. Sometimes pedals can be fun, but they can also be annoying to have to run power and signal cables to/from… And, yes, as @DiffractionCircuit noted, only buy pedals that the QC can’t or doesn’t replicate. If it’s a drive circuit, search for some captures first and see if you like them. Aside from fancy Eventide/Strymon reverbs, micro loopers (like almost all of Chase Bliss’s recent offerings) or other weird pedals like the Beebo or ZOIA, odds are you can find what you’re looking for in the QC.
That said, if buying pedals is something you enjoy and you can afford it - go for it! I’m not here to tell you not to do something just because you don’t NEED to do it
