Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb?

Occasionally there's some discussion here about single malts. Just wondering what our preferences are?
"Smoke/peat heads"; Islay, laphraoig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg etc. or "Sherry Bombs" Macallans, Glendronach etc.

Currently enjoying Laphraoig Quarter Cask (very moderately priced) and Lagavulin 16 year...But I've also got some Macallan, 12 and 18, and I'm saving a bottle of 30 year old Aberlour for a very special occasion, whatever it might be. I guess that makes me a Smoke Bomb

I go for both depending on my taste that day though lean more towards sherry and wines casked Scotch. I have a 25 y/o Talisker that hits the perfect smoke balance, but alas I could only get a bottle of it....

I would lean towards the Smoke Head as my favorite Scotch (of those I've tried) is Laphroaig. I have a bottle of Laphroaig 10 and 18 right now.
