Growing up, we only had white rice. I still prefer it. At first I did not care for brown rice but the more I've used it, the more it has grown on me. Plus, when I put it in the rice cooker, I usually add a variety of spices and things to enhance the flavor.
I do like all kinds of rice. I really like jasmine rice but I never buy it---I usually only have it when I'm eating out somewhere that offers it. Basmati. Black. Yellow. I'll eat it all. I just don't like when people cook peas into their rice. Blah.

Oops, I was just going to say I prefer brown rice w/peas in it.!! And lots of butter!
I love all varieties of rice. I eat more white rice, but if brown rice was available more often, I would choose that because it's supposedly healthier, plus it has kind of an appealing nutty flavor. Brown rice is more difficult to make though because you have to cook it longer and be more precise about the water (usually brown rice requires a lot more water than white rice). White rice is very easy to cook and control for texture (more water for softer rice, less for harder rice).
Sweet rice is sticky and the glycemic factor must be sky high, but I like it, too.
There are many kinds of rice. It's fun top explore the different kinds. I've pretty much settled on Bhutanese red rice (now grown commercially in Nepal), for its flavor and higher vitamin content. It's also good with more ordinary brown rice mixed in, plus a little wild rice--the combination of the three colors makes for a colorful dish. I also recently discovered pink rice, but I don't know anything about it; I've only ever seen it in one store in WA State.
