The Battle of the Aspirations

You hate Family Sims. You love Family Sims. You have a whole neighborhood of Family Sims. You think Fortune Sims are self-centered. Romance Sims are hot. Popularity Sims are boring.
The Battle of the Aspirations touches a good chunk of posts on this board. I don't know that it has ever had it's own thread yet so.....
Me first.
I like all of the aspirations. I don't have NL installed yet, so I can't speak to Pleasure or Grilled Cheese, but I'm expecting to like them, too.
I think my favorite Sims are Fortune, when they are married to Family. I like the landscaping wants! (I can do without the $6000 sculpture want, though ::) ) It's only money. If they are going to work so hard toward that next promotion, why not indulge in a fancy piece of musical equipment, or cram the yard with every toy money can buy? (I don't notice the Family Sims leaving the toys alone after the Fortune Sims acquire them!)
Lately, I've been steering a lot of my Sims toward becoming Knowledge Sims. Their homes are so peaceful. Chess boards, bookcases, telescopes. No TVs or music blaring. Quiet meals.
But, how much fun in a Popularity Sims house. Permenantly installed buffet tabled, "burned out" phone lines, a party a minute!
And Romance. ;)
So, what are your favorite Aspirations? What do you hate? Whom do you like to pair up?

I've always liked fortune myself too. They are even easier to deal with now with the inventory too. If you get them happy enough they'll get other wants like lovey dovey ones and such. The herbiforous wants do annoy me a lot though. They are a pain when dealing with a small lot or a pre-furnished and landscaped one. I used TwoJeffs hack to squelch them.

I used to hate Romance, but NL has made them fun. I guess I do like all of the Aspirations now. Popularity annoys me more than the others.
My favorites are the Knowledge Sims. Fortune and Pleasure make a good combination. Fortune loves to buy the fun stuff and Pleasure loves to play with it. Right now I play a pretty good mix of all the Aspirations, which keeps the game interesting.
Andygal:
I like Knowledge and Family sims.
My least favourite are popularity and Romance sims.
I don't know how I feel about Pleasure or Grilled Cheese sims yet. I haven't played with them enough to know.

It would be really hard for me to say which I prefer but I do have a little more fun with Pleasure Sims.
Their needs are all about fun things like watching tv, jumping on the coach, having a bubble bath, be a dj, all fun fun fun :)
My second favorites are knowledge Sims which are a complete opposite of pleasure Sims, I love to make them stargazing and love the fact they just love every paranormal side of the game. Then there are those wonderful romance Sims who unfortunately create chaos around them (even if it is really not their intention, they want every Sims to be in love... with them).
Popularity, fortune and family are the ones I find the less interesting but depending with which aspiration I match them they can be fun too.
I never ever make 2 sims with the same aspiration be a couple and get married, I find it dull that both would have the exact same wants and fears. For me the phrase "opposite attracts" is a way of life in my game. I like to have as much variety as possible in my game so there is an equal amount of all the aspirations according to gender. Same goes with zodiac signs but that is another story.
