I tell ya, in all my years or playing, the best answer I have is; depends on my mood.

Not very technical but the truth is, I don't much put thought in to it. Mostly it matters when I need my pinky to do something seperate while playing the power chord. On average though, I probably use my pinky more. My pinky is strong as far as pinky's go and it's comfortable. But really, don't sweat this one too much.
