My preference is the same as both builder and player.

If the world is set out on a grid, so that (for example) moving north and then east is guaranteed to always reach the same position as moving east and then north, then I prefer to have diagonal directions as well. This requires no additional effort for builders, and becomes an optional shortcut for players.

If the world is not set out on a grid, then I prefer not to have the diagonal directions. As a builder it becomes more tricky to plan such areas on graph paper, and as a player I find it makes movement more confusing.
