What's the difference between…

[untmdsprt]

どうぞよろしく and よろしくおねがいします？

I've seen both, and I assume they mean the same thing, but why use one over the other?

The whole time living in Japan and meeting tons of people, I always heard and used よろしくお願いします。Also all my conversation classes in Japan, the teachers used this.

I have seen どうぞよろしくused in a few text books, mostly beginner books. But have never actually heard it used in Japan, at least yet. It could be used more in business situations, not sure honestly... Anyone else?

Same here: my textbook taught どうぞよろしく and all I've ever used and heard in Japan is よろしくおねがいします. (Fukuoka)
