Personally, I think I like the poker size better, bridge sized cards makes more difficult than ever.

I've used both but i use poker sized because i'm more used to them and more cards are available in poker size(generally). I used to use bridge cards a while back when i was trying to learn the pass. Now i can do a pass fine with poker size. I guess they can come in handy for practicing certain sleights but i rarely them at all.
I don't use bridge size for many reasons. Although some sleights may be easier, what happens when somebody hands you a poker size deck to work with? You're going to have a lot of trouble doing some of your sleights well.
Also, almost all gimmicks and gaffed cards are in poker size, while I very rarely use these it's nice to have the option.
I also find bridge size cards look generally unpleasant, they just look and feel like they're the wrong size.

Bridge size: Great for manipulation, great for palming, great for smaller hands
Bad for flourishing, bad for big hands, bad for visibility.
