    Just looking for some help on whether or not I should set up the "preferred domain" setting in Google Webmaster Central.

    if so, what is better, www. or no www?

    I'd go with the www. It doesn't really make a difference for your SEO results, per se, but most people expect the www to be there. If you want to be entirely safe about it, redirect the non-default one to the default one, whatever it is you choose.

    I think www should be used with the domain name.
