Most native speakers here in the States use "as" in the affirmative and negative. If you are doing university-level writing, however, you may wish to use "so" in the negative. (One authority speculates that since "as ... as" strongly suggests equality, some people use "not so" to emphasize inequality.) Sincerely, James
