PEM is easier and more commonly used than DER.

Following discussion, counter-arguments were made about how DER was the better format. It's more specific (PEM may contain BER rather than DER), straightforward to manipulate with tools (base64 on Linux/Mac, certutil on Windows) and is the format consumed by at least two CT monitoring systems.
