I have no preference, but if I google around, I see for example Wikipedia using ":" style. random examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shining_Force_Gaiden:_Final_Conflict https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Bart_vs._the_Space_Mutants

"Title: Subtitle" is much more common than "Title - Subtitle" when not counting filenames.
