Do you prefer strong MCs, flawed MCs, or morally grey MCs?

Personally, I think flawed or morally grey MCs can make a story way more interesting because they actually feel like characters with their own beliefs, mistakes, and motivations. But I'm curious what everyone prefers. Do you want an MC you can easily root for, one who feels more realistic and imperfect, or one who can make questionable choices?

I want flawed MCs, but not flawed as in shes unbelievably stupid and does nothing to help the plot, I mean flawed as in trying her best but isnt good at everything. Also, flawed MCs can still be strong! And thats what makes them interesting, to see all the different dimensions of a character whether good or bad.

It would also be really fun to see how she grows throughout the story and learns to self reflect and overcome her flaws or personal challenges. I have honestly yet to come across a compelling heroine whos had this much depth though

I'm fine with either, but I really want them to have a strong personality. I don't want a passive, generic MC who could just be dropped into any other game. I prefer a fully fleshed-out character with their own history, clear agency, distinct traits, and something non-negotiable they stand for.
