There's also a space vs interaction time issue: if there are many questions it might be better to use the drop down to get more visible at once. Finally, the drop down is probably easier to review before submitting; whether that's important depends on the surrounding task. (But I voted for radio buttons anyway).

I've discussed this a bit further on my own blog :) I’d definitely go for radio buttons – the user can scan the question and options quickly and easily.
