I like them all, the truth is you can't pick which hands you want. You take what you're given and you play them to the best of your ability.
The one place where I differ from the group with SCs vs. PPs is mid-late in tourneys. I tend to limp pairs and raise SCs.
SCs are better against big pairs, so when a shortstacked blind wakes up with something, you can be better off if you call an AI.
Pairs are worth more for set value than blind stealing in certain situations, so I almost never raise little pairs preflop.
I just got back from a poker room, the guy on my left kept getting little pairs in his blinds. So while I'm limping on the button and SB, he's raising with 44 and 66 over and over.
He didn't hit a single set, and threw away probably 30 blinds or so from raising those preflop. And he managed to build huge pots out of position.
So yeah, SCs I like for loose raises and pairs I like for set hunting. I'm an equal opportunity card player.
