Both are good. Grew up in a bath-only house, so given the choice I'd probably go with bath. At the moment we've only got a shower, so it's usually a shower every morning and if I've been busy through the day I'll usually take one when I get home from work.
Last time I had a soak was probably at 8 or 9. These days I only shower: hot water in winter, cold water in summer... the latter is perhaps less effective at sterilizing the body, but summer is hot enough without hydraulic insulation...
I shower, only every other day. My skin gets super irritated and I break out if I do it every day, also that's an extra hour of sleep on the days I don't shower! I have a problem with efficiency when it comes to showering. I just can not focus on what I'm supposed to be doing and my mind wanders and I think about stupid mundane things like imaginary conversations with the various people in my life. So what should take 10-20 minutes takes me forty minutes to an hour because I suddenly snap to and realize that for the past ten minutes I've been standing still doing nothing and thinking about that cool tv show I watched yesterday.
As relaxing as a bath sounds, it's much more convenient to rub a dub dub in the shower.
I used to take a bath all the time as a kid but now I only shower.
I have been mentally scarred with baths ever since my older brother used to expel turd bullets when my Mum bathed us together as kids.
I love showers though. Always have one in the morning and I will occasionally have one in the evening too as a treat.
There was a time in one of my old flats where the boiler was very temperamental. I had no hot water for days at a time and had to have an all over wash with a cold flannel. This was not enjoyable.
I shower every other day. My husband surprised me with a bottle of bubble bath about a week or two ago due to being stressed out all the time, so I took two baths last week in my regular schedule :D I have to admit, it was very nice!
I showered twice today.
