Both.  C-a and C-e are pretty much reflexes for me :-) I don't know
exactly when I use them, but I think I use them a lot.  I bind
forward/backward-sexp to C-M-left and C-M-right, because that's easier
to type for me.  (Doesn't work in terminals, though.)  I use that
quite often, especially when I fix some unbalanced parentheses.  C-M-a
C-M-q is my key for reindentation and C-M-e C-x C-e for evaluating a
large form.  I use C-M-u sometimes, C-M-d very rarely.  C-M-space is
really cool, as is C-M-t.  I usually insert a pair of parentheses with
M-( and often to try to wrap and expression inside parentheses with
ESC 1 M-(, but that rarely works.

This are just my habits,  other people may well to it differently.

Helmut.
