So, boy are there alot of different types of elves in 5e across the PHB, MTF, DMG, ERLW, and EGW.
Which is your favorite and why?
(forgive the error in stating 'subclass' in the poll)
I went with the Shadar-Kai. I'm trying to dig up the lore links for them, but I can't seem to find ones that aren't contradictory or aren't specific to the Raven Queen first; but I do like her and and that part of the story and in some cased they remind me of Vulcans, which I also love. There is also some that says their souls need constant engagement from the physical world in order to avoid dissipating into shadow-stuff.

Thank you for your time and please have a very pleasant day.
Eladrin manages to be my top pick by a narrow margin…the seasonal personality shift mechanic has been immensely fun to roleplay for a character or two I’ve played. That, and the new Eladrin gains the benefit of their Misty Step more frequently now.
Drow will always rank highly with me; I love their background, and aesthetic.
High Elf takes third place for me…if only because I like the culture of moon elves.
I like Wood Elf for it align the two best stats in the game, working well rogue, ranger, druid, monk, cleric and DEX based fighter or barbarians usually available in most campaign, from vanilla or low magic ones, thus a good fit almost anywhere like a passe-partout
I was sad about Astral Elf not being on this poll until I saw the date. But Eladrin are my favorite anyway, at least until the 2024 High Elf comes out.

I am in a campaign that involves underwater exploring, being a sea elf makes it so much easier.
