I can't think of a very good place to put this so I'll just put it here. I thought of this last night and posted it since it just seemed like an interesting enough topic and for the most part I love dragons, so this came to mind. Just for fun, which kind of dragon is your favorite, western or eastern? Western dragons are more like what you see in America in films like Dragonheart and Reign of Fire. Eastern are more like Haku in Spirited Away, the kind that you see in the Orient that have more snake-like bodies.
I like both alot, but I actually prefer eastern. Maybe my Japanese heart is a part of this, and besides, they have a certain grace and yet ferociousness to them that is really amazing.
What's your opinion? Sorry if this seems like a dumb or pointless idea.

I like all dragons, but I prefer the way the Western dragons look. I always thought the serpentine dragons were more like large lizards and not quite as unique - meaning, a creature which stands out from anything else. IMHO, anyway. ^_____^
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Yeah Eastern dragons are more like serpents than anything. I like Western style ones more they look more unique.

Western mostly, but not every style of Western.
I'm picky in the proportions that I like, I guess.
I also like more adornments on them, whether that be horns, fangs, jewels, armor, or just funky head shapes.

Are you sure about that? 
I prefer Western myself personally....
Once had a Bearded Dragon as well...cute little guy, named him Rex.
God Bless,

ANYWAY
It all depends on the dragon. I like them both. They bother rock!
But if you have to get specific Levithan from FFVIII and Odjn from Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter.
