Kettle is much more convenient. Microwave is overkill, while a kettle is both a simpler machine and turns itself off when the water boils with no guesswork. It's ergonomically designed for pouring into a cup.
The speed argument is irrelevant, they're both quick enough.
The microwave is more efficient because you can do all the steps at once. Put teabag in mug, cover with water, microwave, leave and let steep. And if you forget about your tea it's already in the microwave -- just push the "add 30 seconds" button.
I keep my Splenda and non-dairy creamer next to the microwave for added convenience.
You can't put cold water and a teabag together in a microwave you psycho.
