Honestly, I'm more of a slow battler. I'm the person who starts with an umbreon, spams curse for like 5 turns, then uses baton pass. Usually put in a swampert or a dragonite and destroy. <3 +1 for slow.
I'm a fast battler. Recently in competitive battling, I use a Ninjask with Swords Dance and Protect. When I've SD'd enough and Speed Boosted enough, I Baton Pass into a Salamence and attempt to wipe the opponent. It hasn't worked as well as I hoped, though...
I like to play with Balanced teams, which means sometimes battles ends quickly, and sometimes they do not. However, I do prefer slower battles, with lots of Spiking and Shuffling.
I go at it quickly. The faster the battle, the better. I hardly ever keep anything but attack moves later on XD; I find most of them pointless, when I can just attack and win. Unless the non attack move is awesome, when an attack move comes along, it is out the door.
I never had the patience for a slow battle against the in-game trainers.
Although in a human vs human battle I would definitely use walls, substitutes, shufflers, etc
