I tend to use 'reply' if just replying to a single post and 'quote' if I'm referring to text in several posts - but I don't know if the that's the best way at all.
I tend to use quote when other posts have arrived since the one I’m replying to. It can look odd when your reply has something unrelated just above it.
I also might quote if my reply has gone onto the next page from the post I’m replying to.
But - yes I totally agree, use reply as a default.
