More often, not "mostly".

Also, what exactly is the different between "くん" and "ちゃん"?For example, "太郎くん" and "太郎ちゃん".
This is a tough one because there is no rule regarding the usage.

Much of it has to do with one's general personal preference. Be careful with 「ちゃん」 when addressing or referring to someone's kid. If you do not know his parents all that well, use 「くん」. Using 「ちゃん」 COULD throw them.
