-regress- is a lot faster than t-test, and the output is easier to read, IMO. The coefficient and its confidence interval represent the difference in means and its CI.
While I agree that regress is faster and often preferred to t-tests, one should be aware that regress will assume equal variances for the two groups identified by the dummy variable. That assumption may or may not be what you want.
