For what little it's worth, I'm a bash user and always use "which".
Probably because half the time, it's in backquotes:
$ less `which which`
and the "type" builtin is too verbose, saying "which is hashed
(/usr/bin/which)." (It seems "type -p which" will do what I
want, but it's easier to type "which which", especially since that
is my habit already.)
As I have a slow machine by modern standards, I'm all for a faster
which(1) as well.
