From what I see, a lot of yuri-esque scenes get thrown into the regular male-oriented shows. Even if it's just another girl grabbing a female's chest, it's almost part of that genre. Yaoi doesn't have that counterpart, not that I've seen. Instead, it seems to have developed into it's own genre. Things might start to change now (Ouran, for example, did have it's yaoi-esque undertones) but that could be why yaoi appears to be a larger genre than yuri.

As for preference, I'll take either or. Just give me good art and good plot/characterization.
