    They are now both treated as whitespace. Used to be that the underscore was treated differently.

    The hyphen is more common and more popular. But does it really affect anything? If its intend for seo/google, i think its the same. But (-) is better.

    Both are good but i think "-" (dash) is better coz when we use underscores("_")then it's looking like space .anyway "-" is better for site address.
