I use BTC as unit , anything else for me seem to be complicated to convert it to Euro , GBP , Dollar or other currencies . But overall it's just a matter of getting used to it , if you are used to use faucets etc ... you will more then likely know how to use Satoshi's and the other small units .

the smallest divisor for me, so 1 satoshi, you cna be more precise in the measurements for small numbers, and you don't need fancy suffix, that some may confuse

I find that the easier unit is the BTC, mBTC can also be useful when you're measuring smaller amounts, like a coffee or food.

I am pretty accostumed to use BTC and satoshis, but when I see a quantity written in bits (for example) I have to do some mental math to get an exact idea of the value.
Also with BTC amounts not including the trailing 0s, I get a little confused. For example 0.000076 BTC is more confusing than 0.00007600 at least for me.

to be honest, visually 0.00007600 is easier to find the position (less need to double check if its 3-4 zero's in a quick glance. 0.000076 causes me to double check as losing a zero can cost alot

Many folks are comfortable with two places after the decimal point. So with μBTC one Satoshi is 0.01μBTC making the Satoshi a little like a penny, especially when 1BTC=$1,000,000 or rather 1μBTC=$1.

mBTC or BTC is the best to measure the bitcoins. For me I use more often the mBTC, because 1 dollar is 0.002 is around 1 dollar so that is just good to see how much 1 dollar or 100 dollar is. I will to like to know if other person have other measuring methods that I can use.

+500 I hate when they cut the last of the decimals off.

BTC is for me the main unit I am using. When I have to use satoshi or other unit I need to recalculate it If I would vote for second I would chhose mBTC.

I am most comfortable with bitcoin and satoshi. I don't know why, probably because I've been using both since the beginning I started with bitcoin. I might start to change these things since they use different measurings on gambling sites and such.

I must admit that I am using BTC as unit as well. When I think about values, I think for example 0.00004800 BTCs.
4800 satoshis still confuses me and I do need slowly get my brain used to the thousands of satoshis and not the decimal points and zeros.

What unit do you find more comfortable when measuring BTC values?
Obviously, BTC. End of opinion.

Satoshi up to 9999 (when people say stuff like 500K satoshi I don't process it) and BTC for everything else online. It's awkward saying "point-zero-zero-one bitcoin" in actual speech though, so maybe mBTC could get a better name than "millie" and we could use that?

I'm way in the minority on this one: I can't stand mBTC or "bits". I much prefer either satoshi or BTC. And I think there should only be one, which is BTC 0.xxxxxxxx. You can't mistake it for anything else and it does the job every time.
This is one of my huge pet peves, too many units of measurement which require endless fucking conversions.

I'm much comfortable when using the BTC itself as it's own measuring unit. It just makes me get really confused all the time when I see on other websites that they use smaller measuring unit and I have to use an online converter just to understand how much exactly it is in order to not get confuse. It's just makes the process a bit longer if other units used.
