Moon travelers were nice they had a plastic warhead and screamed until detonation which was intense, great for interneighborbood battles, just put in a bottle and tilt to the angle of target, range of 100yards.. also m80s like mini grenades ...

Bottle rockets were always my favorite as you could experiment in so many ways. Whether you threw them up in the air, or into a lake and watch them travel under water.
google Stairway To Heaven on YouTube. Chinese firework in steps. 1650 feet using metal and gunpowder.
The loud ones that go up far in the air real quiet like and then BOOM explode all directions through the sky with some sizzle and crackle.
I own a fireworks stand and my favorites are snakes and sparklers. They're all I sell.
You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?
Nope, just snakes and sparklers.
Well that might be your problem, it's not what you like, it's the consumer.
My favorite is after the finale, when it is over.
My favorite fireworks are the ones someone else bought. Watching fireworks is literally watching money explode. Going to the community fireworks show is fine but every other house in my neighborhood is trying to one up each other and it's ridiculous.
The best one at the community show was the humongous one that made a design like a willow tree. That was pretty impressive.

As a kid, M-80's were the thing:
Contained 3 gm of explosive vs. stick of dynamite's 180 gm. In a grass yard, they'd blow a bare spot about 18" diameter. In a hand, several fingers off.

As a kid, loved M-80's, also had one we called a cherry bomb. About the same power. I made a canon out of an old driveshaft. Sawed one end off, dropped in a cherry bomb followed by a can of some sort, the can would wind up in the hillside. Good times.
I must have a rich neighbor that I didn't know was rich, because they shot off I guarantee $2500 or more of fireworks. I mean they were fireworks like towns shoot off not fireworks stand types. I enjoyed them though. God bless America.
We used to put m80s in cow pies, re. Cherry bombs when the Indians had 10cemt beer night fans were throwing cherry bombs into the rangers dugoutAs a kid, M-80's were the thing:

The trifecta of dangerous fireworks when I was young:
M-80
Cherry Bomb
Silver Salute (my personal favorite)
We had a guy in the neighborhood who sold them out of the trunk of his car. He purchased them somewhere across a state line, it could have been Ohio or maybe Tennessee, but we didn't care as long as we got our fix.
This is interesting & explains the differences:

Boomland in Charleston, Missouri is the biggest fireworks store I have been in. Are there bigger ones out there?

I like the same kind that Jason Pierre Paul likes. Let’s give him a hand.
My favorite is the one where the thing goes up, then like 20 real quick very bright white explosions, and then a couple of seconds of silence, and then it sounds like you’re being shot 20 times.
That was the first thing I thought of. For anyone that doesn't get the reference, the quote comes from the movie Joe Dirt.
This is a tough question.
I don't really like fireworks but forced to choose I'll go with bottle rockets with thunderous booms that I can feel.
On the wimpy side, I've always liked jumpin' jacks
