Default Which one do you use: 3:2 or 4:3?

I do know what Aspect Ratio is and understand the difference between 4:3 and 3:2. But I'm curious to know what most of you Gurus use. I got the impression that most use 4:3. Is it because pictures are mostly viewed (computer minotrs) and get stored away and a very small percentage get printed. And/Or is it because that the defualt setting the cameras get shipped with.

I typically take shoot pictures of my 2 young girls, View them on the computer, share them on Facebook with family and friends and then file them away into external media. Someday I'll find the time to sort thru the good one and finally print them. But in the mean time I so badly want to switch from 4:3 to 2:3. It somehow seems like its a less travelled path. I know I can keep switching between the 2 ratios based on what I'm shooting, but I feel I need to pick one of them to default to.

Please advice.
