I have read the responses, but there is one scenario where I always use a LinkedList over an ArrayList that I want to share to hear opinions:
Every time I had a method that returns a list of data obtained from a DB I always use a LinkedList.
My rationale was that because it is impossible to know exactly how many results am I getting, there will be not memory wasted (as in ArrayList with the difference between the capacity and actual number of elements), and there would be no time wasted trying to duplicate the capacity.
As far a ArrayList, I agree that at least you should always use the constructor with the initial capacity, to minimize the duplication of the arrays as much as possible.
