if you are doing a really low poly model then tris is the way to go, but these days quads are used because its just easier to visualise when modelling if you work in quads. its alll about flow and edge loops now.
think about it, the less visual clutter on the screen the easier it is to produce a clean looking model.
also most people doing next gen export the model to zbrush or mudbox and tris don't work very well for sculpting in these packages.
