Illustrator, WITHOUT question.
This has come up time and time again, but given the tools at hand today and the way by which artwork moves from medium to medium, if you are not creating things at the source as vector artwork, you are really being a fool. Seriously no offense to anyone obsessed with Photoshop, but it is a band-aid tool for designing anything pertaining to a layout..... which the web is.
That said, i love photoshop for doing what it excels at; editing bitmap artwork, photos. That is where it ends. It is *atrocious* at working with for varying web design. It only has become any sort of standard for 'web designers' to use as the primary tool, from years and years of instruction where it was the only application taught and the tools it contains were usable as a web design tool.... but it was never intended as such and has subsequently been band-aided to meet this growing population who consider it as such.
Again, my opinion only.
