Python list comprehension vs map/filter

When should I use list comprehension vs map() and filter() in Python?

For example, these seem to do the same thing:

# List comprehension
squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]

# map
squares = list(map(lambda x: x**2, range(10)))

Which is more Pythonic? Which is faster? When should I use each?
