For me Google is much better then Yahoo and Iwould always prefer to use Google more then yahoo in everything expect IN field as i think YIM is the best one in this field.
Of course i use gmail these days, as i found it really easy to use and reply. I especially like their conversation type when you receive replies from the same sender/senders, rather than having a new email, which makes reading easier in gmail.
