What's the best rapid time control that allows me to think for a long time but also a time control short enough to let me or my opponent lose on time?

Classical, such as 90+30

Well, for me it is twice as enough as I need because I love 5min

15/10. 15/5 is better but no one plays it

It is. 10+0 is fine, but so is 15+10, but 10 min is enough to think

I like 30/0, its all about personal preference.

BUT on the other site 30/0 is categorized as classical, which is a much smaller pool and is not measured against the millions that prefer faster games. Which is why I like that site better.

10+5 is my go to. Works well, and you can always get a game.
