Claps tend to sound better to me with effects, and snares tend to sound better to me with less effects. So Depending on the track i use them that way so its abot 50/50 leaning towards snares.

I record myself banging my fist on my desk and play that in place of a clap.

Depends on the song style. For trance, it's maybe 50/50, but only a portion of the songs I produce are trance, so I use a lot more snares, rimshots, etc. And, they aren't always on beats 2 and 4.

lately i've been finding myself layering snares and claps together - after proper EQ'ing and level adjustments, the clap would be more dominant i guess, but the snare would give it an overall different dynamic in sound.
