All of my professional flying has been with the widget shaped FD's of the CRJ, but I've ferried at P210 that had dual cue, although at the time I didn't know how to use it.
I would think that more would prefer the single cue because it provides bank information as well, rather than just a need to turn.
I was sort of a "traditionalist" for a long time and preferred the single cue but I got used to the dual cue and now I will generally use that. I do agree with you that I feel more comfortable with the single cue in specific situations such as check rides because it is somewhat easier for me to process the bank information. At the end of the day though, my default setting is dual cue.
