Since all native events have a proper event object
(com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.*), I don't see the point of using
either :) That said, I think event.stopPropagation comes from the new
NativeEventObject, which I believe is new in 1.6, which implies that
DOM.eventCancelBubble would be the old method. Generally speaking
member methods at least have my preference over some global method.

I believe using onBrowserEvent has been deprecated in 1.6 in favor of
the new EventHandler system, since it takes managing a lot of things
out of your hands.

I don't think so, probably cause event handling changed in 1.6. If you
look in the 'what is new in 1.6' text on the gwt site, you'll see
explanations of the new handler system; I'd go for those methods.
