it depends... if you know there is an older person there who might not hear the knocks.. then ring the bell, if a party is going down... knock... Real HARD. If it is late a night... go for short, small knocks, don't want to wake the house if you are creeping.
But in general.. just on a daily basis.... I usually knock, unless the house is real big and they may not be able to hear you in the back rooms

well i think it depends, but i would have to say that people will hear the door bell but with the knocking will confuse it with someone or something knocking up against a wall. You will be outside a whole lot longer with the door knowcking.

Ring the doorbell if there is one and if it works. To not use it defeats the purpose of having it.

Doorbell is more courteous. If you know them well, knocking is ok.
