#2I really don't like either.
I don't like LinkedIn because I got a bunch of spam candidates. I also dislike that it doesn't force job posters to disclose salary expectations before hand -- this is inefficient. (From an applicant perspective, I do like how easy LinkedIn makes snapping in a resume and submitting an application... but I have to wonder if making it fast to apply is really the best metric.)
I dislike Angel List because I have to accept just applicants profiles from Angel List as their application and I like to hit them up with a few basic questions first to save time. (As far as I'm concerned, we don't need another Facebook-for-work type site on top of LinkedIn -- and LinkedIn has already won this battle.)
I like JazzHR quite a bit.

#3We hired 50% of a 10 person startup team from Angel List, rest from referals, no luck hiring from LinkedIn.
For startups AngelList makes a lot of sense and solves for problems like a wide variance in salary, non existent recruitment pipelines and general match making. Although the candidate pool is much smaller I think it helps keep the search focused. My personal experience with LinkedIn was a lot more spray and pray. LinkedIn does have much better candidate filtering if your looking for something very specific.

You can set up questions in AngelList I believe, so that applicants have to answer them instead of just saying "I'm interested."

#6Mixed feelings - LinkedIn has great searching features for when you need something specific, but when you post ads, you get a ton of crap.
AngelList isn't as great for specific filtering, but you get alot more targeted incomming requests when you post a job

As an applicant I don't give my salary expectations until the last moment. It would be foolish to.

" I also dislike that it doesn't force job posters to disclose salary expectations before hand -- this is inefficient."
No, it's fair. I'm a fairly talented programmer and if I sense any bullshit tactics based on information assymetry I'm not interested on your offer.
This is the first advice professionals who have no experience of salary negotiations get: don't say the first price, unless you know what you are doing.
That you explicitly expect them to brake this rule does not speak well of your approach to the process.
Of course, there can be some local customs and practices I'm not familiar with.

Ah, my bad, my apologies. Sadly I can't delete my earlier comment so I'll leave it there for posterity to document my inability in reading comprehension.
