Page numbers are only useful if you are in a book club or something where you need to refer to paper edition page numbers. Locations are much more accurate.

ETA: some ereaders have calculated page numbers that are just made up. So, they don't help if you are referring to a paper edition.
I do prefer locations, I didn't realise how much until recently when I used the Kobo glo. The epubs had page numbers but I found myself wondering what they really meant to me after using the kindle for 3 years.
