I personally prefer Satoshi, its way more fun to transfer a million satoshi than 0.01 btc or 10 mBTC.

No seriously, just use whatever you prefer, I think most are familiar with the denominations

1 BTC = 10⁸ (100 million) satoshi
1 mBTC = 10⁵ (100k) satoshi
1 µBTC = 10² (100) satoshi

Satoshi is another great unit: I think it's too small for now, but certainly bound to become the default in the future.

Because 1mBTC won't equal a USD for long and a lot nations other than America Bitcoin. You also have the very alive debate on whether Bitcoin is a daily currency or a settlement device.

$1 = 2.37 mBTC, they're perfectly comparable, no need for them to be equal to find using mBTC much more handy.

Then use it, there have been plenty of sites that allow the option but the majority of users seem to enjoy just the normal btc denomination.

I don't know about you guys, but more and more often I find myself dealing with numbers like 0.004 BTC, 0.05 BTC, etc. in everyday transactions. I hate decimals and I think most of you are in the same boat as me. Our brain works much better with whole numbers. Given that 1 mBTC is in the same order of magnitude as 1 USD, why don't we start measuring our transactions in mBTC?

It is depended on people preferences, personally i hated to deal with decimals,
But i am familiar now, and i like more to deal with decimals instead of satoshis or mBTC

Because sometimes Bitcoin or number of Satoshis is more appropriate. It all depend on specific tansaction whether Satoshis, mBTC or Bitcoins makes most sence to visualize in my brain when doing the transaction
