Basically, as long as it is not cheesy, I like Classic Fantasy.

I think it prefers on my state of mind.
i enjoy Classic Fantasy because of it's predictability, because of the age old boy's family gets killed-finds RPGesque companions, defeats the evil villain and saves the world. I mostly read (and watch and play) this when I cannot control events around me or my life seems somewhat chaotic so fall back on something that is constant.
i enjoy sci-fi fantasy in films and games, I'm going to admit I have not actually read too much in the way of Sci-Fi fantasy. If I think from the top of my head there's "The Hunger Games" books I've read, I think terry Pratchett's Discworld could also fall into this category, but other than that I haven't seen it so much in books.
To answer your question, I do enjoy both, but enjoy them for different reasons.

That is a good point you made about things getting stressful and being able to fall back on something predictable. I did not think about that. While I do get annoyed with predictable books at times, sometimes I need them. Thanks for reminding me of that.
