Stick every time for me - only flown 1 type with a yoke (a C152 for my SSEA rating, and then only because nothing with a stick was available!). Frankly I didn't like it at all and I heaved a big sigh of relief when my rating was done and I switched to a Citabria for my tailwheel conversion.
Admittedly I tend to enjoy chucking my planes about (whether microlight, glider or Group A) so perhaps a yoke is ok if you don't really want to 'yank & bank'. Personally I wouldn't buy (or pay to fly in) anything with a yoke though, it just feels too much like driving a car...
While we're at it, I prefer a quadrant throttle too. Throttle in left hand, stick in right hand, the natural order of things
(Dons tin hat for incoming...).
