As you go on to point out, it depends on the individual. However generally speaking I'd say that those who are primarily interested in PK prefer it in a purer form, while RPIs are geared towards a subset of roleplayers who tend to prefer PK for story reasons rather than for the act itself.
Permadeath works poorly unless PK is a rare occurance.
I choose to PK because I find players make more interesting and unpredictable opponents than mobs.
