I use both, but for different things.  For instance, when I had 9 out of 10 of Sagi’s patches for iSER applied and was waiting on the 10th patch to complete the set, I was willing to push that to my github tree so Sagi could check out how the first 9 had gone and double check my merge fixups while he rebased the 10th patch, but I didn’t want to push it to k.o.  I don’t rebase on k.o, ever (something Linus was adamant about when I started doing this).  But the github repo is released earlier and may be rebased.  If it is a smooth merge window, there is little, if any, difference between the two.  Only during merge windows when I am looking at different alternatives of controversial stuff does this seem to be an issue.
