I've been using PySide mainly, but like others have mentioned, I write my apps to run standalone as opposed to within Maya. I have also written some of them to be agnostic of either PySide or PyQt4 in the sense that I will import them once in a single module, and then all the other modules in my application just import QtCore/QtGui/... from that module. This lets me switch on the one that is available in that one module, and set things like SIP API v2.
It is kind of more annoying if you need PyQt support in the newer Maya's, since less people are building installers since PySide started being included. Up until 2014, you could find Maya PyQt for Windows/OSX/Linux. I stopped building my OSX installers since then.
