I alternate about 50-50 between bridge and middle.

Do you mean while playing, or while not playing?

While playing, I use all positions; that's what the switch is there for! :)

While not playing, I try to leave it in the center to minimize unnecessary stress andwear on the switch.

Middle and Neck positions equally. I only switch to the Bridge position during a few songs and only for certain passages.

My Fender Super Sonic is clean and bright when played on the Vibrolux channel, so the richness and detail of the Neck and Middle come through deliciously. When I've plugged into an AC30 I find myself switching to the Bridge more.
