Do you mean BT OR wifi?

If so, I prefer wifi myself, but that's because I've got a wireless-N home network set up, plus I don't have to do pairing, worry about inserting a BT dongle in my system, etc.

Ok, I'm just lazy maybe. :)

BT is handy when you need a mobile connection but it can't compare to Wifi speeds.

I don't think it's an "either/or" decision. To use Bluetooth to connect to the web requires more effort and probably more devices, AND you would be limited to a pretty small range of use (move outside the range and you lose your connection).
