It is really just personal preference. I always said while I was on a bike that as soon as I get a quad it is getting a twist throttle, then I rode a quad with a twist throttle and it didnt feel right. Got a thumb throttle now, it seems to be easier to use over rough tacks.

cause i started out on quads, rather then two wheelers. i think thumb throttle is the bomb, i've riden a mates quad with twist control, and being mostely a dune rider i found it real awkward tryin to wip it and still have wrist movement. Thumb Throttle all the way!!

thumb throttle all the way. if you want a twist throttle ride a two wheeler lol. it all depends on preference. theres a bloke in our club that has to use twist grip because of torn tendens in his wrist so it all depends on what suits you.
