I prefer dependency injection instead of mocking. Not only is injecting a "mock" service better than monkey patch mocks in pretty much all cases, but it's an actually useful architectural feature beyond testing.

That's the only way to mock in some languages/testing frameworks. In C++ monkey patching would be quite difficult, but DI is simple. googlemock works this way.
