Sidestick. It makes meals and paperwork a great deal easier. All future aircarft will be FBW so there really isn't a point to having a yoke. It's becoming like the helm in the DC3.
 
I can't imagine more than a few pilots who've flown both preferring the yoke. Let it go the way of wing-warping.
 
Sidestick. They do the same job. A yoke is just a waste of space these days. I'm amazed that Boeing can't break the paradigm of yokes.
 
Boeing is just waiting for the pilots to be removed from the plane and skipping the sidestick completely
 
Side stick provides much more room and comfort for the pilots. If it's fly by wire why have a yoke anyway?
