This has been discussed quite a lot with people defending their own 
choice quite strongly..

I would say use which ever one you are comfortable with.. Personally I 
use YUM because I found it simple to use and it did what I needed, so I 
have never tried APT..

Youe question is like many in the Linux and OSS world.. similar examples 
are "Should I use Gnome or KDE?", "Which Distro is best?" or "Should I 
use Netscape, Mozilla or Konqueror?".. These all have the same answer, 
which ever you prefer..

Later..
