I use both. I keep my Boss Space Echo settings the same throughout the set and just adjust the reverb. I have found that on songs that are very fast tempo or where I'm playing very fast runs, that bailing on the echo is a very good idea, otherwise the guitar tone sounds too washed out. I tend to also keep my reverb mix down around 4, 5 max.
I'm starting to fight the washed out sound more currently by either eliminating the echo all together on certain songs or really dialing back the reverb and increasing gain.

My personal preference is to run both pretty much all the time. The delay is a Visual Sounds H2O Liquid Chorus. with both delay and chorus, I rarely use the chorus, but the delay fattens up the tone a bit. A '63 RI Reverb Unit is between the pedal board and the amp. Works for my ear and I get a lot of positive feedback on my tone.

Do you guys place your delay before or after the reverb unit on the effects chain?

I put my delay and any other pedals before the reverb tank.

Parallel!
I like the repeats of my delay (Diamond MLJr) so much I don't wanna muddy them. Actually, I split my signal 3 ways:
1- Clean with buffer
2- Topanga reverb, which I now tried 100% wet. It drips much better now.
3- the rest... Drive, trem, vib, delay.
Mix to taste, full control.

All effects in front of the reverb tank. I have been known to split my signal from the dry out of the delay to another amp and tweak the onboard reverb on that amp to taste.

I, too, am using the reverb as the last effect, after the delay, but this isn't an actual choice, it's because it's more convenient to have all the small pedals together and then go through the reverb and to the amp.
Do you guys use the reverb last in the chain because of this, or is it a choice you made, after trying both connectivity options, because it sounds better this way?

I could be off base here, but the reason a Reverb Tank goes last is that if it was going earlier in the chain, the actual reverb trails would be processed by all of your other pedals that came after it, which might create an undesirable effect. Imagine, if you happen to use delay, the reverb trails being delayed instead of the delay trails being reverberated. This could cause a wash out.
A better example, although one probably never used by most on here, would be the use of a pitch shifter. This actually occurred in the studio with me recently. I wanted to to double a part at an octave up. But instead of just doubling the part, we decided we would run an pitch shifting plugin. Well, since the plugin would technically be at the end of the chain, the pitch shifter not only created an octave up of my notes, but it also created an octave up of all my reverb trails and subsequent artifacts. It sounded terrible.

I put my trem pedal after the reverb unit, otherwise, the reverb washes out the tremolo. Besides, that's the order of effects when you run a reverb unit into a Showman head with tremolo. It's inconvenient to run cables back and forth like that but that's how it has to be.

+1
For the same reason an OD pedal BEFORE the reverb gives you quite a different sound than an overdriven amp AFTER the reverb.
