    When I was competing I used to play all 3 in high school and college, depended on who we were playing and what strong players they had in each category. Now I only play mens and mixed doubles.

    doubles and mixed is the only way for me. I'm too aggressive in my singles play and i leave myself open in my smashes, plus i have crappy footwork.

    Doubles, I'm simply too old for singles. I played singles last night as it happens, one of the group caught a shuttle in her eye and had to be driven to the hospital.
    I can do about ten minutes solid play, after that I'm just useless. Besides I'm past the age where I enjoy one on one confrontation, I prefer the atmosphere of doubles.

    I usually play singles but last year i started to play doubles too for team reasons: i like doubles, expecially when i've a good team mate :)

    Singles and doubles are really different worlds, even now i continue to slighly prefer singles matches.

    I play both dependent on where I am playing. I find singles more satisfying and doubles (both MD and XD) more challenging.
