Just kind of a curious poll to find out the practice of the members of the PB and the churches they attend.

We use both, but not all the time, nor very often, and probably very rarely in the same service. (And come to think of it, I'm not sure that we have in the last year ... I've never paid a lot of attention to what we use, but I know them both, so I presume we use them).

You cannot train for war in the midst of a battle. Prepare before the battle starts; if the battle is long and hard, you will wish you had.

We use both at different times when then offering is brought up. One month we sing the Doxology to Old Hundereth, the next month to Laast Uns Erfruen, the next the Gloria Patri, then cycle again.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

We use different settings of both at morning and evening worship: the Gloria Patri to open, and the doxology to close the services.

"Christ has done great things for his people, and he has suffered great things for his people, and he has purchased great things for his people, and he has prepared great things for his people; yet many of his own dear people are so taken up with their own hearts, and with their own duties and graces, that Christ is little eyed by them or minded by them! This is the great reason why so many Christians, who will certainly go to heaven—do walk in darkness, and lie down in sorrow." - Thomas Brooks

My church uses the doxology a lot of the time for the song after the collection; sometimes it is psalm 117, in which case I sing. I don't recall the Gloria Patri being used.

The Regulative Principle: The Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference” (Samuel Miller).

We conclude every Sunday morning service with the Doxology, usually to Old Hundredth. It is often sung acapella. I think we have sung the Gloria Patri once or twice. Once or twice it has been a hymn verse we've sung in response.

You filled my heart with greater joy
than others may have found
As they rejoiced at harvest time,
when grain and wine abound.Ps 4:7, Sing Psalms 2003

We use the Gloria Patri.

We use both every Sunday.
I actually learned Doxology at a university run house at Oregon State University. I lived there my Sophomore year of college and we sang it every night before dinner. I am still amazed we were:
1. Allowed to do it
2. Did it every night M-F.

Neither.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Doxology Only....

We use both, but at different times in the service. The Gloria Patri is used as a response to the Call to Repentance/Confession of Sin/Assurance of Pardon; the Doxology (Old Hundredth) is used after the offering is collected.

"Wherever the gospel is preached, it is as if God Himself came into the midst of us." ~ John Calvin

Both every Sunday. But we are an old, traditional German heritage Presbyterian congregation. We don't change easily or readily around here in Western Pennsylvania. The old traditions are still a part of the fabric of the church, and this includes the doxology and the Gloria Patri alongside the reciting of the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer each Sunday.

We rotate. We sing at least one of them each Sunday.

Neither of them with frequency or regularity, but on occasion we'll use one or the other.
