Depends what you mean by "cover shooter", e.g. if you mean games with a cover mechanic like mass effect where you "stick" to chest high walls and peek out... well I hate that, its immersion breaking because its taking control away from you the player.
I much prefer the PC approach where you make your own cover.

That said I think there is plenty of room for all type of shooters, I just hope the AAA marketplace sees things the same way. What we don't want is less choice, which seems to be the trend of what we're seeing from AAA studios.

Wait, why can't you have cover based shooting in a sandbox game? I don't understand.
