Which do you prefer: bishop or knight?

I know the bishop is considered to be a little better than the knight, but I was wondering what percentage of people like the knight better or don't have a preference? Which do you prefer?

the knight cause it goes like a L and L is for moon + light= moonlight and Thats my favorite word and its usaully limited. AND LAST THING you must not even open a pawn space.

There are about fifty pages on knights and bishops in The Amateur's Mind by Jeremy Silman.

I think the bishop is better because it's a long range piece, more useful and more maniable than a knight because knights are short range and suck in endgames, also the bishop pair is stronger than the knight pair. Also, the knight is more limited since it has less possible moves (8 and less if stuck in the corner) than a bishop (13 and less). Sorry horsey, but bishey has beaten you!

The bishop! Mobility is crucial and being able to swing to the opposite side of the board in one move is nothing to snooze at. The knight simply takes too long to get anywhere and even after it does it usually isn't any scarier than a bishop.
