If my only concern is battery power should I use Wi-fi or not?
Of course if I have wi-fi tuned on, but I am not connected it will use of un needed battery, but what about regular surfing? At home I only pay for the 1.5 MB/s DSL from my local telco and my 3G with BIS seems fairly comparable with what I get on wi-fi.

Wi-Fi, because it has a lower power requirement. Plus, you are interacting with a source meters away instead of miles away.
Wifi all the way

If you are connected to WiFi it will save your battery. If however, you have WiFi turned on with no connection to a WiFi network then you may end up using more battery as the device is constantly looking for a connection. There are some good apps that automatically turn on and off your WiFi in certain locations. I use one to automatically turn on WiFi when I'm at home, when I leave home it turns it off.
which app do you use for that?

What's the point of saying some good apps without actually naming at least one?

Agreed. Wifi use is good for conserving the battery!
I took a look (albeit quick) and couldn't find any Geo fencing apps - that's not to say they don't exist for bb10. I used to use on on a galaxy s4 but, honestly, I just leave wifi on all the time. The battery life on my Q10 has done well, for me.

Turning WiFi off when away from a network makes a huge saving on my battery.
