I prefer pass phrases for one reason, support. Implementing complex
passwords increased our support calls. Pass phrases tend to be easier to
remember and generate fewer support calls.
There was recently a 3 part "Great Debates" article on Technet were Jesper
M. Johansson (Ph.D., ISSAP, CISSP Security Program Manager Microsoft
Corporation) went into great depth on the topic.
Here are the links.

Subject: [windows2000] Complex or long passwords?
Hi,
What's the consensus on this list on easy-to-remember long
passphrases vs short, but complex passwords?
There was a lot of talk about this on the last TechEd Europe, but
AFAICT, there wasn't ever a consensus, not the keynotes I was on at
least.
BW,
Sorin
