For me, I don't like how pants slide up and down with each stride. They feel heavier and bulkier and more awkward. Tights/leggings move with the body, are quieter, more comfortable in the rain, lighter, and don't seem to impede my running like pants. I tried compression tights and don't like them but do love the regular fit tights/leggings.

Good point - and really, the few times I have gone out in pants, it's just been for slow, easy runs. They probably would get annoying if I was going for speed.
...but then again, when I'm running hard, my legs stay even warmer, so I don't know that I'd need any extra coverage for those workouts.
