Oh shoot, thanks for heads up. Yeah those are cool too. They all are.
Just choose other if not on the list.

Looks like 80% so far like the Stormy Cumulonimbus , tied at 40% liking the Fair weather Cirrus and Cumulus. Altocumulus is close.

I love lenticular clouds. They are very rare here and I actually saw three in a row once. You know how you have one of those kodak moments but without the camera? Doh! I also like mammatus clouds. They're quite beautiful glowing pink at sunset or looking like something out of a horror film around a storm.

Altocumulus have a nice texture about them and don't typically block the sun much.

However, the cumulonimbus, the ideal weather factory with its hail, rain downpours, lightning, thunder is a clear winner. It's easily the most aesthetically pleasing.

On a fair summer's day I don't mind a scattering of translucent cirrus clouds.

Altocumulus castellanus are nice. They are common on hot days and are often a sign of thunderstorms to come.

Culumus for making any place look pretty.
Cumulonuimbus for the size and power.

For me its definately the king of clouds- Cumulonimbus. Whether as a low based flat incus cloud in a cold air aloft setting in winter or as a powerfull supercell with mammatus and shelfclouds, i love them in all shapes and patterns.

Tiny cumulus clouds on a bright summer day, do also have their appeal.
Some examples, took all pics by myself:

One of my favourite summer scenes.. fluffy cumulus drifting by. Temperature at the time was 27C/81F.



Altocumulus castellanus drifting by on a very warm evening. Temperature was 26C/79F - the high that day was 31C/88F.



Different forms of cirrus..
