(Personally, I use PGP because the whole IETF/NANOG/security community is
fairly small and closed (perhaps 10K people, tops?), and PGP is a better fit
than X.509, which is which is designed for hundreds of millions of users that
you've never heard of before, and will never hear from again).

I use both, depending on to whom I'm sending the email, but I use PGP by
default.
