Depends. I can use either since I still have my pre-metrification cooking utensils, as well as <sigh> too many shiny impulse-buy new metric ones. Most often, though, I just take a handful of this and a couple of spoonfuls of that, unless it's something like a cake that needs careful measurement. Funnily enough, I don't use but have often wondered whether to try the old recipe that says take twice the weight of the eggs in each of butter and sugar , and four times in flour. Makes a lot of sense, sort of. (Well, I hope I remembered straight  and didn't get the proportion wrong) It is a problem with online recipes, you sometimes have to take a punt on whether a metric or imperial cup is called for.

Hey, Lesley - 
 
I see you are using English/USA measurements for cooking.  Is  that
the rule in Australia, or are you just being kind to those of us still 
attached to the English system?
 
IOW do you ordinarily weigh out everything (metric) or use by volume 
measures (English/USA such as teaspoons, cups, etc?
 
 
Curious cooks want to know.
