getClass() vs. Instanceof in equals()

807580Feb 8 2010 — edited Feb 9 2010
As we know there are differing opinions on what is better to use in overriding equals(). getClass() or instanceof for

argument type checking.

I would like to know if there is anyoneone who is strongly in favor of using instanceof instead of getClass()?
