I buy and have uses for both. But I slightly prefer Basics. However ,I buy any figure regardless of style,if it looks good enough. Some basic headscans are miles better than their elite counterpart. But having an elite HBK (and many others) for posing is damn nice too. Mattel elites are better than jakks DA/DI style IMO. The fact that basic and elite are totally compatible makes me love both.

I prefer Elite over Basic, because they are much easier to animate with, just because they have the torso and additional leg articulation. But I have to say, that the knee pads on Elites suck. You can't really move them, so some are difficult to animate with. And Basic figures have no accessories, which are very useful in animations. So I say Elite!

I prefer elites because of the articulation and accessories ect. But they CAN be a bit pricey. And because of that I buy alot more basics. But if money was'nt an issue I would probably just buy elites because they are better for playing with XD But I'm still happy with my basics.

I'm on the fence.
I like the basics because they don't have that ugly ab crunch.
I like elites because of their poseability.
So I just collect both, with a focus more on basic.

I like Elites for the detail (for example colored tattoos on Elite CM Punk instead of grayscale on Basics Punk) and also the accessories. I'm an MOC collector, so articulation doesn't really matter. The only Basics I buy are ones that won't be out in Elite any time soon/ever (Hurricane, Knox, Benjamin, Khali, Yoshi, Punk/Gallows, and of course Divas).
