It depends for what I use it. If I need predictable URLs inside a
statefull application, I use the cookies. If it's an administration
backend, I normally don't but tend to do it anyways so that copied
URLs do not work to give the person receiving the URL access to the
session.
Sometimes this is just one more tiny security feature.
And most of my apps that need bookmarkable URLs are direct action
based and sessionless anyways.

Pros of Cookies
1) stateful DA urls are bookmarkable without junk in them
2) people love to send eachother URLs and nothing sucks worse than
when they don't understand that it's a huge security risk to include
your session id
3) You can navigate back and forth between your app and static pages
and not lose your session
Cons of Cookies
1) opening multiple windows on your app is a lot more annoying
because they will share the same set of cookies (so you can't easily
login as two different people in dev mode)
2) if you have any issues with host names (you probably have other
problems if this is the case), you can lose your cookies if the host
name changes on you

What are the benefits of using SessionIDs in cookies over
WebObjects' default sessionID in URL strategy?
