I prefer the American one, because isn't so traditional and structured. But I practice both of them (:

I think I like a light British or a light American one the most.

But anything too strong (too strong British or too strong American) does not sound nice to me. I think British one sounds smarter and posher. The American one can sometimes sound a bit stupid. 

I think I have more the American one :-D
