My opinion: case sensitive.

Don't delegate stuff to runtime (strcasecmp) that a good editor and/or 
good eyes should cover.

There are always going to be case sensitive bits left (dialplan options, 
for starters). Better do everything in the proper case the first time.


I'd consider writing a basic on-dialplan-load check to warn people of 
case mistakes if that sways the opinion towards case-sensitive.
