Oh, I'm definitely both, but not really for any specific reason. I generally have about 24 to 48 hours I give myself to complete trades (I trade on Localbitcoins especially), so always start by opening an advertisement setting a small fee to cover 1% maker's fee. So that makes me a maker first. As the window closes, I tend to want to close up shop quickly and sell the remainder to a trusted trader. That makes me a taker at the end of my window.
Makers get a lot of credit for applying value (price?), and I suppose in this current condition of high demand, they're appreciated. But I actually make a small percentage more as a maker, even after fees. So there's no real altruism motivating me there.
End of the day, none of this matters. A taker when convenience matters, a maker when not rushing for time.
