Which do you prefer: hyperbolas or parabolas?

Parabolas are way better. Hyperbolas are the devil.

Parabolas are much simpler, and I know much less about hyperbolas. Thus, parabolas get my vote.

I'm going to ressurect this thread, earn some distasteful grimaces and say that I am going for the underdog, ellipsis.

Neither parabolas nor elipses can stand against the awesome might that is the HYPERBOLA!!
1 - It's HYPER not 'para' or 'elipse.' It's that much cooler.
2 - It's the bane of high school algebra students.
3 - I hate you all and thus hate you for chosing the Parabola.

I vote for the true underdog: the point. It's the one formed by the plane slicing exactly at the intersection of the two cones.
