Usually, I use dreadnoughts, because in most games that I play (PBW) I don't Last long enough to get baseships!
However, in games where I have plenty of resources and a full tech start (Like RTH 2) I build mostly baseships, due simply to the increased firepower and the extra shielding you can fit on a ship that's 500Kt larger than the dreadnought.
