YouTube because just about everyone knows what it is and uses it.
I picked YouTube. Why? Mostly because it currently has a bigger audience than Vimeo, so that means more exposure for your videos which is always good. Vimeo has less visibility currently. Another reason is that since YouTube is owned by Google, Google AdWords is connected. If you didn't know AdWords is Google's paid advertising and promotion platform. Though, in the end it wouldn't hurt to upload on both sites. Keep in mind Vimeo only allows you to upload a certain number of videos.

YouTube obviously good social Networking site.
More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick Youtube any day but for someone who is using videos to promote their sites, a product they are selling or anything else, they shouldn't limit themselves to using just one video sharing site. While youtube certainly is better [youtube users watch 4 billion videos a day!], placing your videos on other video sharing sites and promoting them could get you some great results.
Youtube is better and it is known to everyone.

YouTube for largest audience in it's category. However, I think YouTube does not allow adult or certain types of content whereas Vimeo does, so for certain types you might wanna use Vimeo.
PS: Please correct me regarding content types allowed in these if I'm wrong. More insights on content-types would be appreciated.

I have always been under the impression that Vimeo was the hipster website, and I guess you can really take that to mean whatever you want. I think that it is a lyric in a song so that is why it stuck with me, but nevertheless I would have to say that Youtube is the better site. Way more content and very easy to navigate, it is just the standard in most people's eyes.
+1 for YouTube. There are no alternative right now. The other video sites have less interesting content.
Do agree with Fox. There is no such kind of player where you can customize video when you embed in your site.

YouTube. Because it is a Google's product and we are already using many google products. Interestingly,I have never used Vimeo. I have an account there but I have never checked my account after I created it.
YouTube all the way for me. I have tried Vimeo before but never really liked the format of the site. YouTube is very user-friendly and has tons of videos even for non-subscribers. You can find almost everything from YouTube, music, series, movies, etc. I don't think any video streaming site can defeat it especially since it is free.
No doubt in it
