It seems that i appriciate playing long games than 5 mins/3 mins. Although i can beat higher rated players at fast pace games the longer ones helps me understand the game more. Is that what we call a matter of taste?

I'm great at 1min games and 30min games.

If you are learning and trying to improve than I see no reason to play a fast game.  I too enjoy a longer game.  I can really figure out my plans, my opponents plans, possibly tactics, weak squares, so many things.  But playing fast can be a great thing.  You will gain much more experience very quickly.  You will learn many more lines of openings, and will experience many of the lower level tactics.  I would call it a personal preference certainly, but I think to play your best chess you should play a longer game.   Many blitzers i know are not that great in a long game, and vice versa.  I would think to be great you should do a healthy dose of both.

Yeah I like longer games more... but I like to play fast games cos it helps me in ways long games can't. If I ever need to make my moves fast due to time I'll be great at it! :D
