    Does not matter as long as you remain consistent.

    Use htaccess to redirect from one to the other
    Use google webmaster tools and select which version you prefer
    When link building use only one version.

    I personally prefer the www version. However, if you have a long domain name, I would go with the non www version.

    www is the standard to use. You can use either but you will want to use your .htaccess to point one to the other.

    RewriteRule ^.* - [F] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.iaea.org$ 
RewriteRule !^http://[^/.]\.your-site.com.* - [F]
    Code (markup):
