I've flown both and I much prefer the sidestick. I find it much more accurate (although that could be the aircraft FBW design too) and the space you have in front of you makes for a much more pleasant working environment. I find it much more tiring flying a Boeing, and I think that is partly caused by the cramped flight deck, which is made more cramped by having the control column.
The only benefit I can see with the control column is that it is easier to tell just what the other pilot is doing, inputs wise.
