Use "guy" only when speaking or in informal writing. Don't use it in things like academic essays. It's an informal word.

it is still more used in the US thanthe UK -

in the UK, if you address a crowd as "you guys", people are likely to think you are being playful with language - it doesn't sound serious at all to most of us!
