I am struggling whether to use capitalized drawer keywords or
lowercase?

So use `#+TITLE:` or `#+title:` or `:PROPERTIES:` or `:properties:`?

Any opinions?

Lowercase, there was a discussion at some point on the ML you can find
by poking around.

The properties drawer is a bit different, but the standard for
keywords (outside of the manual) is lowercase.

What do you mean the standard for? Can you elaborate?

It addresses lower cased keywords. The PROPERTIES still remain all-
caps because that's how Org mode inserts it automatically. I wouldn't
mind them becoming lower cased as well.

Just use lowercase, It's looks cooler and is easier to type aswell
with Caps Lock or Shift
