I prefer scene only because those releases are easy to cross-seed, I haven't really had the time for comparisons. Some P2P content is awfully bad quality and scene is always at least decent.

scene members are pro at encoding and stuff ,they are way ahead of p2p encoders and material is available in all possible qualities and sizes.
so scene is best
funny joke
As for me, I expressed my opinion many times in other threads. For HD I like p2p releases much more than scene ones. Scene encodes are always worse than p2p ones even if p2p release group isn't too experienced. Overwhelming majority of scene releases are absolutely not transparent to the source and if you compare experienced p2p 720p encode even with 1080p scene encode in most cases you'll see the visible difference in favor of the first encode.
My understanding is that you cannot in fact find material in "all possible qualities and sizes" because scene protocol has them encoding to meet specific size criteria of a handful of formats that they've agreed upon.
Most of the content that I go after tends to be from HD / BluRay source material with filesizes >4GB for approximately 2 hour running time. From what I've seen, most of the content available at that quality level comes from the internal p2p encoders (Eureka, Flawl3ss, CtrlHD, CHD, Esir, etc) from various well known tracker sites. Please enlighten me if I've been mistaken about any of that.
Perhaps the scenarios are different at lower quality encode levels?
I don't realy care if I download scene or not.
1) I look for what I want.
2) I check if my favorite teams have upload it.
3) If not I take a look at the torrents' comments and screens
4) I download what I think is the best choice.
So, no "scene" in any of the steps :)
P2P releases, obviously.
Except for the odd show that's only in SD and not ripped by anyone else.
For TV shows, I generally go for scene releases, as the encode quality is not such a big issue for made for TV productions, but for movies P2P all the way, only go for scene if it is the only option for a particular film I want to watch.
