My wife is physically disabled and needs extra room to sleep. So due to the small size of the bunks, we each use a separate bunk. She uses bedding because it's easier for her to move around. I use a sleeping bag because it's easier to pack and takes up less room than the bedding. Besides, to me, being an old tent camper, it's just not "camping" unless I use a sleeping bag! (I leave the bag in the PUP but not the bedding)
We use bedding...flannel sheets and lots of comforters! I love to be snug under the covers when I camp! I wash the sheets after each trip and store them until we pack up for the next one. I wash the comforters after especially dirty trips (beach, lots of rain) or every 2-3 trips, whichever comes first.
In the spring, summer and fall we use bedding. The fitted sheet stays on the beds and the top sheet comes off when we pack up the camper. We also pack sleeping bags in the camper in case of cold weather. Then, depending on just how cold it is, we either use the sleeping bag as a comforter, or if it is really cold, we zip it up and get inside. I prefer bedding because it allows freedom of movement...however, can't beat a sleeping bag (especially a mummy) for warmth.

I use regular bedding as it's easier for me to wash in the washer. I have trouble fitting sleeping bags in the washer.
My bunks have heated mattress pads too, which makes for cozy sleeping without all the weight of heavy blankets, etc.
I leave the bedding on the bunk when closed up - just move the pillows to the sofa or glide out. We shower before bed, so the bedding doesn't need to be washed too often (the AC does a great job - no sweating when sleeping).
Yep, zipped together bag for us with a flat sheet inside. Separate bags & flat sheets for the boys.
And yes, the bunkbeds are always made up & ready btwn trips. We even have pillows that stay in the trailer. Our sleeping bag is folded w/ the sheet inside resting on one of the boys' beds. When setting up, I just pick up the whole thing & flip it open on the bunk or sofa, if we're turtling.
