I use both $() and `` but seem to be shifting more toward $().
Advantages of `` are that it's easier to type and easier on the eyes, so I don't mind it in a short line such as
% VAR=`command`
but the individual back-quotes tend to get easily lost in longer statements, so there I'll use $() as it's easier to spot.
But I also like consistency so maybe that's why the slide toward $() everywhere.
