I'd much rather the prompt change. The title isn't always visible, and
even if it is, it isn't always obvious. When I'm ssh'ing around the
network, changing the title is a small convenience (since that means
the "running programs" list shows who I'm logged in as), but changing
the prompt is critical, because I see that right there as I start
typing. Fortunately, every Unix shell I've ever used lets me have both
- title AND prompt - so there need be no mistake.

(Of course, that still doesn't stop me fat-fingering and bringing
services down on the live system instead of the test...)
