In functional languages, I'm happily a mapper, but in OO languages I'm 
an avid collector.  I guess it's the Smalltalker in me.

I wouldn't baulk at mixing and matching according to conditions.  I'd 
probably #map a variable representing a Proc object and #collect a 
block:

f = lambda {|x| ...}
a.map &f

a.collect {|x| ...}

If that makes me weird then I'm happy to be weird.
