An interpolation question

Hi,

Assuming that I have a fairly convex function - e.g. the Price/Yield curve for a bond - what would my preferred method of interpolation be?

Would it be loglinear or cubic spline?

I realize that this is a completely open-ended question (am doing some interview preparation), but I was wondering if there is a science to choosing the interpolation method?

Thanks.
