Answer = The one that's shooting you down.

Try to avoid having a favourite plane for as long as you can; although it's natural to develop preferences, they will stymie your understanding of the other planes, which will be flown by your opponents; the other half of the engagement.

The four aspects that you need to appreciate are: You as fighter; you as target; him as fighter; him as target.

Flying exclusively in 'your' favourite plane will leave you understanding half of the engagement very well at the expense of the other half. Flying your opponents plane types will rob you of some time for your favourite, but gain you understanding of your opponents capabilities first hand.

The latter course of action will be slower, but have the greater headroom for development.
