Do you guys prefer rebuys/addons or freezeouts?

Exactly how I look at the rebuy tourneys and play them.

I don't mind rebuy or addons as long as the rebuy is usually just once. Don't care for the unlimited rebuys for a period of time. Like the pocket change tourneys in carbon. Only one rebuy and addon.

Personally, I'm stubborn, and won't rebuy until I'm out of chips. The only time I make an exception is when it is near the end of the rebuy period and I am short stacked. I always take the add on.

The extra money from rebuys and addons ensure that the guaranteed payout is hit for the tournament.

I absolutely detest addon/rebuy tourneys. I also dislike a long "extended registration" period once the tourney starts.

I think also

rebuys suck man. never get into a rebuy. Just don't. freezouts are kinda fun.

I like rebuy tournament as the pricepool is very interestong at the end

I love the rebuys. They're full of donks wanting to give away their stacks, and you never have to wory about being knocked out until the rebuy period is over. It's up to you to decide when to quit.

so there is certainly

I like them both in different ways. Freezeouts give you consistent play and less variation in the first hour. Rebuys give you bigger prize pools and if you're patient enough to wait until you have a big hand, don't chase draws, etc., they can give you a decent sized chipstack for not too much money (relative to what the donks are throwing in) and all those donks are building the prize pool for when the real tournament begins when the rebuy period is over.
