Personally, I prefer eating at home because it's cleaner, and I enjoy the company of my friends and family. I feel safer when I cook at home, but sometimes I go out to eat for an event or a special occasion. For example, if it's my birthday or my husband's birthday, we tend to go out to relax and enjoy the evening.
