I prefer Rapid because it gives you more time to think

It depends on what attribute you are measuring. Whether for improvement or for enjoyment.

 

To break the two votes for rapid, I choose blitz as I am able to sneak in short games after a long day of work (though I have stopped playing for months). This is coming from someone who is a working adult and cannot spare much time for games. In addition, I play rapid only during over-the-board games as I somewhat do not trust players online for rapid games unless the players are already local chess club players of mine.

Rapid for learning and improving and trying hard blitz I do for fun
