12 hour. Iunno, I don't see the point of 24. They both tell the same time, just in a different manner. (And yes, that does work vice-versa, but I was raised with 12 hour.)

But, meh. I can tell time on both anyways, and translate them pretty well from one to the other, but i'm faster with a 12 AM/PM then 24.

I use both. My phone and PC show 12 hour clocks for ease of reference, but if I need to record a timestamp for anything, I'll use 24 hour time instead.

Both?

In my country we don't use the AM/PM system. When we specify a time, we state the hour then the time of the day (Morning, noon/afternoon, evening, night). So 1 at night would obviously not be 1 PM.

Most digital alarm clocks I believe are almost exclusively 24 hour and I personally infinitely prefer a 24 hour clock.

Instead of stating what period of the day it applies to, I can just say 4 four digits and still be immediately understood.
