In the Lunar Game I have been running the players are urchins that actually lived in the neighbourhood from Seven Devil Clever prior to Exalting, (she also found them fairly quickly after Exalting), she then procceeded by racking up favors by taking them in and giving them free food, clothes...
Lunars are my definite first. I like the shapeshifting and protecting theme a lot in them. I like the Sidereal too, the way they work everything out in the shadows.
There is no type I actually dislike, they all have their own charm to me.
