Poll: Do you prefer 10 or 25 man raiding?

A while ago Jenren22 posted a question which lead to a long off-topic discussion and never really got answered. The question was: "10 man vs 25 man raiding, which do you prefer"? (here's a link to the thread)

This was a question begging for a poll, which luckily, I can now put up, so here it goes...

Keeping it as open as possible as to reasons, so if you want to post why you prefer one or the other, please do so!

Patience, my friend.

I prefer 10's because they're better for getting to know the people you raid with. They feel more friendly, less prone to drama, and more relaxed and less regimented.

Edit : Can a moderator put the word "Poll" in the title for me, please?

10 mans, if only because 25's make my dps drop a good couple hundred from lag because my computer's pretty awful in the ram department.

I like them both... though I do not agree with Blizzard's current design on 25 man content. 25 man raids are no harder... you have a much larger room for error... you depend on more people over personal dps. I wish 25 mans just dropped much more loot because of the increase of people... it doesn't have to be better than the 10 man versions... people will run both each week just so they can get gear. But having a 10man/25man/10manhard/25manhard creates 4 tiers of negligible upgrades instead of the 2 tiers it should be. /end mini-rant

I believe this is only because ToC is so short. Having the Heroic version available the same time you clear normal gives you 10 bosses to kill opposed to 5. ICC is going back towards an Ulduar model with slightly different hardmode mechanics but I think ToC is the only place you will see the different Normal vs Heroic lockouts.

I think it's fine atm. The best raiders can get into full 258 gear for bragging rights, but the typical, fairly competent guild can get into 245 and H245 gear from ToC25 and 10 TotGC that will more than allow them to successfully compete in future ICC raids.

Blizzard changes gearing every expansion, the "two different tiers" available ie 7-7.5, 8-5.5, 9-9.5 was for the first half the the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, it wasn't the norm in the past.
