Dark meat all the way - more flavorful and juicy imo. My whole family feels the same way - nobody's been stabbed in the hand with a serving fork yet but I know it's coming!
Dark here, more flavor and moister to me. Fresh cooked white isn't all bad, I'll eat it for sure, but the leftovers seem dry when compared to dark meat leftovers.
If your white meat is dry, it's the cook's fault. Keep a close eye on the internal temps (check several pieces) and when you're in the mid 160's, pull, wrap, and rest for an hour. Flavorful and juicy every time.

The white meat's fine. The dark meat is better.
So... you bought into it when your Dad told the kids he was giving you the best pieces, eh?
Still do! :-D
If I'm just eating chicken, then the thigh is my absolute favorite, especially for flavor. However I do like the breast meat too, especially if Redhot cooked it. I can't imagine one of her quesadillas without the white meat. Tender, juicy and lighter flavored with less fat considering all the cheese and avocado slices. So I guess either...even if I do give a hoot as it depends on the dish.
I picked either, it all depends on the application as to which I prefer. I love both.
