My personal favourite to play is 15 | 10 It gives a nice fluid game without too many time pressure mistakes that people of my amateur level make. My favourite rapid time control to watch professionals play is 25 | 10 This is wonderful to watch with expert commentary because its slow enough that the commentators can explain positions for people like me to follow, and yet, fast enough to be challenging for even professionals to play, especially when out-of-the-book positions are played. It also remains exciting to watch as it lasts less than an hour. I would love the world championship to be played using 25 | 10 played over 36 or 48 games.
Best rapid time control in your opinion, why?

I prefer playing 15/10 here because if your opponent walks away from your game you won't have to wait as long to claim a victory as you would playing 30/0.
