Hardcore OR Softcore?

Post your prefrence, and your reason for it.
Personally I love hardcore you almost always have a char to build and you have to build chars that WORK as opposed to stupid ones. Its a test of skill as well, I would say its pretty good to have a level 75 hardcore character. Also there are fewer level 40 duchebags in hell that bog down games and do nothing but die over and over again.
I played softcore for a while, but I just made a char that died alot and It still worked. I got bored and went to harcore.
