I actually really enjoy one or the other...for different tasks and reasons

If I'm doing a substantial amount of writing, it's just plain easier to use a mechanical pencil because I hate dull pencils and sharpening my pencil ever thirty minutes is irritating. I also get a finer point with my mechanical pencils (not TOO much finer, since I'm very particular and only like .7 lead 
) so I feel like I can make more precise notations. I really don't, but it's a nice psychological effect 
However, if I'm drawing, I HATE using a mechanical pencil. I suck at drawing, so if I'm having to fight my lead to do things like various gradients or stroke sizes, I get really really irritated.
For some reason, I also just enjoy the feel of writing with a wood pencil more. I have no idea why. But, like I said, I do like a sharp pencil and it's irritating to sharpen frequently.
Don't even get me started on my pen preferences.
Wow. This post is so off topic and ridiculously nerdy...please forgive me!

I'll add notes in the margins of textbooks but not fiction or anything I read for enjoyment

I used to edit a literary magazine, so I would always be folding corners of pages
