Which do you prefer? Pros and cons of each? what do you use each of them for?

Baitcasters by a huge margin in Texas.

If I'm going out with others and especially if I'm going out on a boat I prefer baitcast, generally have better luck with em. If I'm just going down to the bank with a lawn chair to relieve some stress and relax I like spinning reel. Just a bit simpler and easier to use.

Different applications call for different setups.
For me:
Light weights, finesse, drop-shot, and inshore salt - spinning reel
heavier weights, topwater, spinnerbait, crankbait, jig, pitching, target accuracy - baitcast
God does not charge time spent fishing against a man's allotted life span. - Indian Proverb

Spinning - finesse baits, shakey heads, some topwater plugs with braid
Baitcasting - most topwaters including buzzbaits, crankbaits, jigs, T-rigs
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

I can live without a spinning set up and having one is plenty for me.
