So… what’s your poison? Front or Back Squat?
I do zercher, but I hear using towels makes it really comfortableAs long as we're talking real front squats with a proper full grip rack.
None of this bodybuilder arms-crossed or front squat with straps stuff.

Not a fan! Makes me sad.
If I must choose, front it is. Ideally I can practice both.So… what’s your poison? Front or Back Squat?
Too different to the other 2 I think. Stimulus is significantly different. Jury is out on front and back in a lot of literature.If you had overhead squat, I would have voted for that.

Why do you consider front squat perhaps more useful than back for a “trained” person?I said Front Squat, answering for myself.
If I had to answer for trainees/students, I would say Back Squat.
I think Back Squat is more useful for getting someone strong for a few years. Once trunk stability and requisite mobility are present, front squat is at least as useful and maybe more so. But I wouldn't want to have limited my lower body strength to my ability to hold a good front squat position during my first few years of barbell training.
