Bose-X is the only one so far to mention the purpose of the flight.
For aerobatics, definitely a stick. For IFR flight, definitely a yoke. For anything in between, it's not quite so clear cut.
Alvin - I noticed that you learnt on a Cessna, but it was only on flying the PA28 that you realised you don't like yokes? The PA28 yoke is much bigger than the Cessna's, and although I learnt to fly on a PA28 and thought the yoke was absolutely fine then, now that I regularly swap between Cessnas and Pipers I prefer the Cessna yoke over the Piper's any day.
