        In terms of rankings - no can give you that answer but Google.

        In my opinion, I'd go with 'and' though. It looks more legitimate in the search results - thus hopefully increasing CTR.

            • My company's product is referred to by two different names (SVN and Subversion). When cleaning up our Title tags, is it OK to use either name to keep the title tags around 70 characters?
