Soft links are often preferred as they are more of a "link to a path" model of shortcut we are used to. You can link to files and directories and you can delete those links without deleting the original file. If you see a link today, most likely it will be a soft link. Hard links shine where soft links may fall short. If you want to keep the link to a file that change names often or are you using a backup program that do not follow symbolic links by default, using a hard link should be considered.
