Mostly Elites unless there's a Basic I really like more so than that particular wrestlers Elites that have been made.

I buy both.
For my current roster shelf, I have mostly Basics. Because between Basic line, Battle Packs, and the occasional PPV figures, I can keep the shelf updated much easier. Plus Basics usually come out much sooner and it's vital to me to keep it as current as possible. I even sometimes buy Elites and turn them into Basics just to keep it cohesive.
My Flashback shelf is 99% Elites. The T-shirt Piper being the only Basic. Since most of these guys don't wrestle anymore, I'm much more patient.

elites....because basic leg articulation is ridiculous. Whats the point in the year 2016...making wrestling figures that can't do wrestling moves?
i wish they'd cancel the basic line tbh

I mostly only collect the elite line. I buy basics of wrestlers that will never get an elite (eg. J&J security), basic Edges, and the occasional basic that has a really cool attire (eg. B52 Chris Jericho). But, I really HATE basic articulation. It's awful.

Both. There are times when I actually prefer the basic version to the elite.

My collection contains both, but I would say 70% are Elites. The Basics I have are Divas, a few tag teams, the WalMart T shirt series, and the occasional wrestler that doesn't have an Elite figure.

I do both, and even the Create a Superstar line, too. I am more of a completist on elites and buy basics that I like or just on a whim sometimes when I go to the store for something else. I have bought all of the CaS so far as well, because they are in scale are fun and the ones with generic heads are great jobbers!

My collection is mainly basics but I just got a few elites and defining moments and I will now collect both.

Just elites. Though I do get basics if they're of my favorite superstars and if the attire is good looking. IE: Basic 58 Edge

Both.
I started out collecting only Basic because Elite was too expensive at the time (2010, hah!). After a while, I got into collecting Elite for the VAC belts only. I took a liking to the Elite figures from there and bought the ones I liked, but I wasn't serious about buying complete or near complete sets until this past November.
Since then, I've dabbled in both Basic and Elite because I've been impressed by the character variety as of late. Most of the NXT crew are popping up in the Basic line first, so that's been another contributing factor. But if I had to choose between them? I would drop Basic figures in a heartbeat, especially if it meant all future debut figures were exclusive to the Elite line.

I get both. Sometimes there are guys that only get Basic figures so it would be a shame not to get that figure. And once I have those figures more figures are a great compliment.

Just elites. Almost pulled the trigger on the Hall and Nash battle pack.

I much prefer elites
However I collect basics simply because they are released quicker, more often and there's more of them
Without basics, I wouldn't have The Ascension figures forever lol
