Question about event handling

Let's say I use SDL (1.2 or 2.0) in my program to handle events, should I use callbacks or the good old giant switch statement?

I browse /prog/ since 2006 and this is the first! time this happened to me. Every programming question I ever made got high quality replies except this. Looks like from now on I will make my programming questions on the ni/g/g/erland because no programmers are left here
