    There's no difference using with or without www. it's just both the same. However, www is a default there's no advantage or disadvantage is just a matter of how you market your site.

    www. is standard, whether or not you type it in, it will automatically read the url as http://www.yoursite.com

    I have stuck to www. simply because the reason that most people know web addresses that way, for SEO I dont think it makes a difference

    I use www. personally, as I think it looks more professional and attractive (but SEO wise it is irrelative).

    there is no difference as google will also index those sites with no www on it. a site with www can also be access without www on it. so there is no difference.

    I don't think that it will create any difference. But, when you start doing backlinks you need to use same URL like if you did it with domain.com then you do not have to use www.domain.com.

    I do not think that this is one of the factors for ranking, Just do not use both, so your PR don't cut in half between the two. I use without www, because it is shorter, but probably it is better practic to use www, because it is just the way it should be (i guess).
