What do you think is the best sub-genre of metal?

I've got a few and it changes between them. So here's the list:
Djent (Vildhjarta, Atlanticore, sometimes Meshuggah)
Funeral Doom (the slower and heavier the better--Ahab, Evoken, Funeral, And holyshitamazingness Skepticism)
Sludge. More specifically, Mouth of the Architect.
Drone (Sunn O))), Earth, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine)
Whatever the hell Khanate is
Usually it's Funeral Doom or MotA. Occasionally Mushroomhead, though.

I like a little bit of everything, although I suppose if I have any leanings it might be a little toward the Progressive side of things.
My favorite sub-genre depends on the season. I seem to really like doom and sludge when it's cold outside. I seem to like power and D&D metal when it's warm.
Because I'm a madman that's why.

I prefer Rebellion's Sagas of Iceland and Miklagard. Historical references, plus it actually sounds like what I imagine a viking singing would be. I'm not much of a fan of Amon Amarth, really.javelinstark said:
Progressive and post-hardcore.
There's so much potential for atmosphere and variety in progressive, it's like the swiss army knife of music. It can be blended with contemporary or alternative metal, jazz, blues, folk, even reggae. For hardcore and post-hardcore, it never lacks an emotional punch.

Whatever genre A7X falls under. Actually, that's a bit confusing because A7X has 2 totally different styles (Sounding the Seventh Trumpet-Waking the Fallen, the other ones). I love both styles.
Amon Amarth is really just a power metal band that does growl vocals. Most of there songs aren't just noise, it follows easy melody of power metal bands like Hammerfall and Manowar.javelinstark said:
That said, my favorite sub-genre of metal is either Power Metal, or Symphonic Metal. (<3 Therion)
Ehh. To me, there is no "best" subgenres, just stuff I like and don't like. My favorite,of many, subgenres is a tie between Stoner Metal (HoF is fukkin' epic), Thrash Metal and Progressive Metal.
Melodic Death and Industrial metal for me. Veery much so. I was quite big on Gothic metal a while back but I've slightly, slightly gone off that.
