I usually double tap my stick to dash, but I was wondering what other people thought about the two? I feel like hitting two punch buttons is a little more consistent, but I'm just really used to the double tap.

Is one better/easier/more consistent than the other or is it just preference?
 
PP is better except for specific airdash cancels, and this is the biggest reason I don't play Guilty Gear seriously.
 
PP is nice but you have to hit them on the same frame, so within 16 ms of each other.
If you're off timing on that press, you'll get sMP usually which frequently will kill you.

It's extremely useful for Parasoul because it lets you dash forward and backwards while retaining both down and back charge.
 
I double tap at neutral but PP in combos. Double-tapping feels more intuitive when just moving around, but in a combo it's easier to ingrain PP into muscle memory.
