For me, it's easier to read hyphens than underscores. I think it's probably easier for most other people too.

Hyphens are treated as word dividers, which help your page names be seen as real words, which is a good thing.

Underscores, in many, if not most, cases are not treated as word dividers, which renders a page name as a big cluster of letters and underscores.

This means that -- all other things being equal -- your pages will score lower in most places if you use underscores rather than hyphens in your pages names. How much lower? Not much. Will this always be the case? No.
