I really prefer showers for both. Showers are easier for soaping up and washing down; and hot water beating down on your back and neck after a long day is the dog's bollucks! If I'm likely to be in there more than 15 mins, I'll usually choose a bath, since I'm pretty sure my shower will use more hot water after that (money reason before hippy reasons. Fuck the turtles! 
).
).I voted "shower only", but that applies more to my habits than my actual opinion. I mostly don't have baths anymore because I'm too tall to fit comfortably in the tub, and would really like a nice big thing like a jacuzzi but those are of course silly-expensive.
I used to bath a lot.. now im more a sit under the shower person and do stuff.. lucky if i want both i just turn on the shower and sit in the tub and the shower fills the tub!
I take baths for the very simple reason that I am too tall for the shower in my house.
Yes, I'm as tall as you're probably imagining. I'm also incapable of lying down in said bath, I have to sit up.
I would take showers if I could, because they're much quicker.

That's another good point many people who don't like the idea of being in a bath at all should discuss their thoughts on jacuzzis and hot tubs, as many people may not immediately realize that as it is not swimming it's similar to bathing for relaxation.Rowan93 said:
Choosing a bath versus a shower is a pretty simple choice for me. All I have to do is look at my location: am I at my dad's, where I have no shower? Or at my mom's, where I have a shower stall that's too small to sit down in?
Given an acutal choice, I'd go with a bath for relaxation and a shower for getting clean. Baths are, in my opinion, the best environment for reading, so long as one is careful not to drop the book.

Quick showers for me. I am a bit too impatient for just sitting in baths and even hot tubs. I'll sit in the hot tub for a short period but then I have to get out and go to the regular pool to do some laps. I am a terrible relaxer. lol
Though sometimes I like the 'bathhouse style' of bathing. Our shower is encased in a small room on it's own, so I close the door and fill up a large container or bucket with very hot water. Everything is steamed up and I use the hot water, a jug (for pouring the water over myself) a wash cloth, and the regular toiletries to bathe myself while sitting on a stool. If I feel I haven't rinsed right, I'll stand under the shower nozzle for a second or two to rinse off. I only ever actually do this once a month, if that. But it's the closest I've come to being relaxed and just feeling toasty while bathing. Best during the cold months.

I am a bit of an effeminate guy I guess. I take showers to clean myself, but I also take baths in oils to relax, as well as to impart a scent upon myself. I usually read during these bathing sessions.
On the flip side, I think this is to help fight the malicious odor that wafts from my body after the slightest physical labor. If I soak in the oils it tends to disperse that maligned emanation.

I would use both for cleaning.
But I like a nice long bath and a short shower...unless I was cleaning my hair that is.
Both are awesome, especially on a weekend. ^_^

I mostly just shower, but that's because I have yet to find a tub that can comfortably accommodate anyone who stands over 6 feet tall. Though I do enjoy a good soak in a hot tub...if that counts as a bath.
