For me it comes down to overall quality of the art rather than style. Also I care whether or not the art style serves the gameplay and mood of theme of the game.
Hand drawn with smooth nice looking animations if done well is hard to beat.
Pixel art is very common so you have to do it super well to stand out these days I find. But I still love a good pixel art game.
3D or 2D using 3D models is fine too but it can quickly look bad unless executed well. While this comes last for me I want to add that I would still prefer well made 3D over mediocre hand drawn every time.
