Default what kind of corals do you prefer?

Personally, I like softies and Lps. the reasoning behind it is they are usually quite hardy, low maintenance and they "flow". I love to sit and watch the movement of my corals. I haven't got into sps not because I am cheap but because I view them as rocks. Some are very colourful but without the "dancing", I am not umm...amused by them. Maybe down the line I will get into them but IMO, nothing beats a simple colt coral, toadstools or a large torch.

Was the same, loved my xenia swaying in the current, didn't think it would happen but have since found SPS to be rather addicting.

SPS all the way. I keep a couple of "dancing" corals to amuse people not impressed with SPS though

SPS mostly for the color, there isn't a lot of color available here and if it does manage to make it through its either immediately put in a store display tank and not for sale or you have to sell your first born to afford it. I found it much easier to get colorful fuzzy sticks as sometimes the brown ones color up nicely. With the advent of australian LPS making it to the west coast (but still not here) there is more available when I make it to the mainland and certainly tempting but I'm sticking with my sps tank (with a few LPS frags here and there).
