<----------- loves challenges!
i think my first choice is a sketch challenge, i think it is the most versatile.
then my second choice would be a color challenge, tho it can sometimes be limiting to a reason/season/theme. it still gets me to put colors together that i might never have thought to before.
but then i guess the inspiration challenges would maybe be a tie for second. they also can be limiting for reason/season/theme but it makes my mind see things in a different way. i look at magazines and billboards and fabrics and... with a different eye since i discovered the inspiration challenges.
Techniques, for me, because I love them.
I like the Limited Supply ones too - not that they are always easy, but they get you thinking.
I struggle with any type of colour challenge, and if a particular inspiration one doesn't inspire me, then I am pretty much flogging a dead horse. If it does inspire me, though, I could probably make a half-dozen cards if I had the time.
I like the sketch challenge because you can always participate. Sometimes the Limited Supplies or Ways to Use It require items you don't have so you can't always participate. I also like the color challenge because I'm always looking for new color combos.

the sketch and the techniques are definitely my favorite
I often have problems with the color challenges as the colors I'd choose for any given day are very subjective and depend on how I feel!

My fav is the Inspiration Challenge. I think it is amazing to see what diverse cards everyone comes up with when they are inspired by the same thing. I just wish it wasn't on Saturday because I don't get to play that much on the weekend. I do it whenever I can though.
I think challenges in general are terrific. I know I have learned SO much from participating in them.
As a newcomer I would say sketch and technique. Both of these guide you and teach you how to do things. A few months ago the sketches looked so difficult. I can actually understand them now. I'm getting there!
My favorites are Technique, Ways to Use It, Inspiration and Limited Supplies, in that order. I am not wild about color challenges because I so love choosing my own colors.
I love the sketch challenges! I love other challenges too, but I always come back to the sketch challenges. I don't always have time to participate or upload a SC, but I look at them all the time and admire Roxy's cards--among all the other talented hosts and participants!
The neat thing is, I've learned so much!!!
The support in SCS is fantastic and I log on daily--or try to if I have time to turn on the computer!
