Stick.
As a former glider pilot and confessed romantic, I just feel a stick is more 'aeroplaney'.
Yokes are for those who don't like the fun side of flying (aerobatics/farm strip flying/etc) and limit themselves to the £100 cup of tea once a month rather than using their license to stretch themselves or seek adventure.

I'll just pop and get my nomex flying suit on in preparation for the Cessna drivers' retaliatory flamage.

Oh, and for touring I prefer a side stick as you get your whole lap for a chart but you still get to fly with stick and not a steering wheel.
