I prefer both depending if there are any other keys, for example if you use Space I prefer the arrows, if you use Ctrl and Shift I prefer WASD.

Witch one do you prefer?

Depends on the keys.

For instance, when I'm using a mouse for absolutely ANYTHING, I prefer WASD so I don't have to put my hand on my right leg (I normally type with the keyboard in my lap). I prefer the arrow keys if it's solely keyboard control.

they both work good for me, like onslaught, using wasd is easier because you have to use the mouse, but in exit path you only use the arrows and the spacebar, but i think im kinda ambidextrous like that.

I prefer using WASD when I'm using a game that requires using both mouse and keyboard. But when it's Arrow Keys only, I go with the flow.

personally i use arrow keys more than WASD because they are more comfortable. Unless youre using the mouse then i have to use WASD.

If the game involves the mouse, then WASD, if it involves the space, then arrows.

i use it for both because when i use WASD my thumb naturally goes to the space which makes it easy for games that uses space or mouse

I use the arrow keys, but in an odd way if I'm also using the mouse.

I have my thumb on the left arrow, my index finger alternating between the down arrow and the right arrow, (or index on down and middle on right) and my ring finger on the up arrow.

It's really odd as I've figured out, but it works quite well for arrow movement mouse click shooters. :P

i use arrow keys when using mouse because my left hand is on arrow keys and it comforable when ring and pointer control side keys and middle finger controls up and down
and if space bar is required i use wasd and thumb hits space
