Yes, on occasion. It's easier to force a stalemate if you're opposing queens rather than rooks or bishops, so if you're confident of the win the rook can be a better choice on occasion to make sure your opponent can't get out of losing.
Then what about Bishops?
If the Queen is a Druid... Both of them are clerics? What's the difference? I though of them being different alignments because they move through diferent paths... But it's true, the Paladin would kick'n scream...
