In your typical commercial project it would be pretty foolish to use anything other than polygons, just because that is where the tools, engines, and APIs are at.

Still, from the perspective of making something unique looking, many people seem to like voxels. It is almost comparable to the preference of pixel art over vector art. As a warning, if you do anything with voxels, even just something Minecraft-ish, you will be opening the floodgate for many technical battles. :) From a conservative perspective, it is hard to justify the use of them.
