DPM kits are great, full of detail but about the easiest kits to assemble. Cornerstone kits are ok, and are really good for kitbashing, but are a pain in the neck to assemble. I don't have the patience for craftsmen kits, and since my layout is in a shed temperature variation tends to warp wood kits. Heljan makes some nice kits that are easily modified. I built a DPM module kit recently and love how it turned out. Those module packs a kitbasher's best friend! <br /> <br />As far as type of structure, I am a big fan of anything brick, because it's so easy to bring out realistic detail easily. Mostly I prefer late 19th century stuff with lots of architectural detail. I think lots of smaller, 2-3 story buildings, say in an urban scene, looks better than a few big structures, although having one or two big factories or warehouses gives the scene great depth. Height variation in the structures helps add visual interest because your eye goes up and down as well as horizontal as you're looking at a scene. (yes, I like urban scenery the best).
