It's all the fault of Windows, of course. Wouldn't they stuff cursor CONTROL like word-jumping onto the same modifier that issues COMMANDS, we wouldn't be in this mess.
The argument could be made that Command should be the modifier that can be reached most conveniently. And since word-wise jumping is a common activity in text views it would also make sense to use the very same key for it.
Anyway, this is really a matter of individual preference and the only good solution is to allow all global and application specific shortcuts to be customized. Ideally even per keyboard -- e.g. on my Kinesis keyboard I would want Option to do word-wise and Command subword-wise jumping while I'd prefer Command or Control to do the word-wise jumping on a regular keyboard.

to accommodate the switchers. We'll remove CMD+curser menu items where they were very intuitive.
In Mail, I would argue, changing the reply level isn't used that often and surely a different, sufficiently intuitive shortcut could be found.
