I much prefer the X-Men run over the Fantastic Four one without a doubt. My preference may be related to the fact that the FF characters never grow on me as much as the X-Men did.

Fantastic Four for me. It was the book that got me back into comics at 13 when I thought I was gone for good. I read those X-Men issues later when a classmate brought them to school and loved them (and years later I bought all of them for a hefty sum) but JB's FF is, in my opinion, one of the best runs of any comic period.

Dan Green also did a really nice job. I agree that the inkers Cockrum was assigned during his second tenure were not as good a match for his style. Also, it's my understanding that the work Dave did during his second stint was less like full pencils and more akin to breakdowns (to help him keep up with the monthly schedule). When I asked him about it online once years ago, he said: "I did loose pencils in blue. Editor Ann Nocenti referred to them as 'shakedowns'. But everything was there." So that's another reason his work looked different.

Loved Dave Cockrum's second run when inked by Rubenstein did not care when Wiacek started inking.

For me, it's the Fan. Four, no question. I enjoyed the story and art more than I did the X-Men stuff. Both runs have their various higher and lower points, but I see the X-Men run as a warm up to the greater FF run. It also helps that I like the FF characters more than the X-men.

As for a Hidden Years Artist Edition, I would prefer that it be the original pencils only as I find Palmers inking style to be heavy handed and not a great fit for Byrnes style.

FF.
When I started reading comics, X-Men was already a myth-enshrouded legend. For Fantastic Four, I was there, man.

It'd have to be FF.
As much as I love the X-MEN run, it wasn't entirely JB's. FF, on the other hand, was. And it was long and great run, second only to Lee and Kirby.

Being the life long FF fan obvious I choose the FF run- I would have loved to have seen Terry Austin ink the series, esp from issues 254 on.

I was already a FF fan before JB started either of his stints on the book, so that wins hands down for me.

Definitely the FF for me.
The Uncanny X-Men run is very good of course, but I find the FF run more consistent, the art is better, it's a longer run, it's purer JB and I prefer the characters.
