Thick cut is the only way.
Unless the missus buys it, in which case it is thin. I have no idea why, but while likes thick cut bacon, every time she buys bacon, she fails to look for thick cut and always brings home regular cut. |

You forgot about the whole thick, delicious and crispy. Not floppy like a condom

I would say middle-of-the-road thick. I recently bought a 15 pound box of Wright brand bacon at a restaurant supply store and got the "extra thick" stuff. That sounded like a good idea, but the reality is that you get a lot fewer slices that way. Even if they're marginally thicker, we can all agree that more slices of bacon = more happiness (as long as the slices aren't too thin). The biggest problem with thin bacon is that you can't cook it floppy. Everyone knows that crispy bacon is bad.

Cooked so that it is not crumbly or chewy, but breaks off when you bite into it. and sliced around .100" thick.

Lower heat and longer cooking time and you get better than floppy or crispy, which is chewy. |

Poll fail, I like both.
I like the thin kind cooked crisp, or the thick cut cooked tender. 
That does it, I'm gonna get the griddle out and make bacon cheeseburgers today. |

1/8" thick and if you can hear it crunch it's too done.
Crispy bacon is a blasphemy to the baby Jesus and makes him want to curb stomp kittens,

http://m2.i.pbase.com/o4/72/325172/1/110944882.IWcYA8fP.14.jpg True. Thick and cast iron cooked.
but NOT crispy. I mean not raw but... if it's cooked to the point where it's rock hard then it's gross. |

You can slice it any way you want, but you best not be complaining about people cooking steaks well-done if you like crispy bacon because the same thing applies. Crispy bacon is overcooked. Period, end of story. Heck, it event tastes like charcoal because you've cooked all the meaty goodness out of it.

If I'm stuck with sub-par thin bacon I cook it folded over double and cook twice as much. Never crispy!

Get both.
I use thin cut for sandwiches and thick for eating by itself or chopping up for my mashed potatoes. I even have different uses for limp and crispy bacon. It's ALL delicious! |

I would say thick cut if served by itself, like for breakfast, and thin cut on sammiches, burgers and biscuits and such.
Either way, bacon is glory. Bacon is love. Bacon is life.  |

Thick Applewood smoked and with the right balance of chewy and crispy. I like my bacon with equal amounts of crispy and chewy.
