Ctrl click is way faster and could avoid more misclicks.

I'm also surprised no one uses control+[idle scv hotkey] instead of boxing at the start (not that it'll matter in HotS),

I use control click, as others have pointed out it's both faster and thus more efficient.

Depends. If I have only one type of unit (let's say 20 marines) I usually double click, but if I have many types of units (let's say MMM, but I need only marines and marauders, no medivacs) then I use CTRL+Click and shift +the same for another type.

Despite my overall sub-par mechanics, cntrl-click all the way. I would think most pro's favor this method, just IMO

I use control+f1 at the start of the game to select my probes to send them to mine. Later on in the game, I sometimes use control+f1 if I have a bunch of idle probes for whatever reason--maybe a base ran out of minerals, or I sent a bunch of them away from their mineral line as crisis management.

I try to use control-click for more precise actions when my left hand is free, or near that key. If it's up at the top of the keyboard pressing control group buttons or w or e, then I might be more inclined to double click. Generally speaking, I think that control-clicking is better because it's using 2 hands to press 2 buttons simultaneously, whereas double-clicking means you have to use the same finger twice in succession. Even if it's a split second difference, it's definitely a relevant difference.

I have vague memories of control-clicking ghouls so I didn't have to double click really fast-moving units, especially when unholy aura and/or the crackling upgrade were involved. I could be wrong, though.
