This is like me, I've used a combination of Uber and Taxis in the last few weeks. I'm not about to swear allegiance to either, its just better to have more options. I'm not paying additional surge pricing for Uber just because its not a cab in order to make some kind of point. When cabs are lined up on Stephen Ave and I've been in the area having a few drinks, I'm grabbing a cab. If I have a more planned out trip, I'll probably go for Uber. Availability and pricing are the biggest factor for me, period.
