All are good, but OTB and live are slight favorites.

OTB is the best...there is nothing like a real board and real pieces and an opponent seated three feet away...but Live Chess is just so convenient, and it is great to play people from all over the world.
I don't play turn-based online. I like to get my games over and done with. On the other hand, I play chess variants almost exclusively using turn-based online. For some reason I like taking more time on chess variants than I do on regular chess. I have no idea why.
