Console vs. PC is really a matter of what you're used to and what you prefer.
Personally, I play solo a lot so PC/Console doesn't matter that much to me, so the hacking/duping on console doesn't really affect me because I just stay away from it.
On the other hand, I STARTED D3 on PC, so I was used to the mouse/KB method but I find that for melee characters, the pad is FAR superior and feels more visceral than the point and click interface of the PC version. For characters like the wizard that require precise placements of things like black hole and teleport, the PC provides an immeasurable amount more precision for control as the console really only teleports a specific distance and calls it a day. The PC allows you to pick the exact spot you want to teleport to.
It's all personal preference, and I don't get much time to play these days so I'll likely be playing on Console more often (when I play) because it's a more accessible to me, but I will also probably put some time into PC because I have lots of friends that play there as well.
