Generally, if the map is behaving like small struct, and you are accessing fields of it, (:keyword map) is idiomatic, and mirrors (.fields object). If the map is used like a data-structure, or a mapping function, then (map :keyword) is more idiomatic.
Note that if you are using defrecords, (:keyword record) performs better, because the clojure compiler generates some shim implementations that let the underlying field get accessed directly.
