If we're talking human usability a dash(-) is a single keystroke while an underscore (_) is a shifted keystroke. I find the former faster to type when actually entering URLs in the address bar.

One can't be both descriptive and typing-friendly at the same time, so there's always room for URL shorteners and shortcuts ("/questions/1234567", but something like "/~1234567" is better).
