Quill is quicker IF you swap bars AND stem. (lets face it quill stems ain't generally breaking the bank so you may as well just get another one for your other bars.)
Ahead is gonna be quicker if you keep same stem and just swap bars.
This is of course presuming you are either brakeless of running a lever with a hinged clamp coz if your using a non hinged lever then bar changes are surely gonna take about the same time.
I would say quill looks better on SOME bikes, sometimes it can look old fashioned, ie if the rest of your bike is really modern.
