I voted for visible substrate, but I want to be clear that I only want a few visible spots. I like to see the contrast, but plants should cover the majority of the bottom.

I suppose I like a completely covered substrate, but that depends on the substrate. This is a mighty cool looking tank...

If you cleverly design a substrate, it can look cool - simulating a rock-strewn creek or some other natural effect. But if you're just using Flourite or regular gravel, it looks a lot more natural to completely cover it in greenery.
