I prefer the clutch unless I'm really getting on it and passing someone or in the case I have a passenger on back. In both cases, clutchless is much smoother. Many of the pros (Lee Parks, for example) recommend clutchless saying it's smoother on the transmission (when done correctly), and less wear and tear on the clutch cable. It's a good skill to be comfortable with in case your clutch cable ever goes out on you mid-ride.
