This is a question I ask in four parts. I would like it if everybody could respond to all four parts of the question.
(a)Suppose you are encountered by a single aggressor in a 'street fight.' What would you most want his style to be to give you the best advantage?
(b)What would you least like his style to be?(In other words, what would be hardest to fight against?)
(c)Suppose you are in a tournament with controlled sparring. What would you most want your opponent's style to be?
(d)What style would you find to be the hardest to fight against?
I'll answer my own questions to start people off. I would most like an aggressor who attacks me to be a kicking expert such as a Tae Kwon Do stylist because I'm good at takedowns to kicks, but I would least like to fight an athletic Jeet Kune Do practitioner. In a sparring situation, I would most like to fight a Kung Fu practitioner just to gain the experience in a controlled setting, but would least like to fight (spar) someone else from my own style, Montgomery Style Karate. Thanks in advance.

What a fun thread 
A- Boxer sounds good
B- I agree with Muy Thai, but only because I have particularly pansy-ish shins and they target those.
C- Olympic-Style TKD if we are fighting mma rules 
D- In general, any mixed style like kajukenbo. Everytime you think you have them in one aspect, they can change.

b). Wrestling, because I have little ground experience.
c). Not sure. Maybe Shotokan?
d). MMA fighter.

Good questions.
A) Taekwondo because due to training, tournaments etc. I know how these people move and what techniques they will pull.
B) Any sort of grappling because I have a very limited ground game.
C) TKD or sport Karate? Again because the majority of my sparring practice is against TKDers.
D) BJJ or Tai Chi (if they are going to be doing push hands).
