I have a slight preference for server but I've been using both terms frequently and interchangeably. Whenever I start talking about this server and that instance, I often end up using the term several times in rapid succession. As all good writers know, widening ones vocabulary in such situations helps give the text a better flow. It's good to have multiple terms for any given concept to avoid excessive repetition when trying to explain things.
