Both.  Most of the time, I find the diff output easier to read.  Only when
a change modifies a whole bunch of lines sprinkled around do I find the
side-by-side format easier.  Even then, it is only marginal.

However, asking for a side-by-side diff viewer is probably the most common
request I've gotten from people I work with starting to use git.
