Question Weekly Poll: Candids or Posed?

It was interesting last week finding out how many of our forum members have professional aspirations

This week, I thought I'd ask a question specifically devoted to portrait photography. When you're taking portraits, do you prefer candids or posed shots? (And yes, you have to pick one or the other) .

Why do you prefer that type of portrait? And while we're at it, if you prefer candids, do you use a short lens and get up close to your subject or do you prefer a longer lens, keeping you out of the picture (as it were).

Note: I'll update this week's poll with some more info in the morning, but I wanted to get it started on it's usual day.
