Honestly it really depends what you are mostly doing with the keyboard. If you are planning on writing a lot, people usually lean toward tactile switches. It has a little bump on the click which feels quite nice. Strict gaming usually go linear since its faster to trigger. Then there is the weight. Lighter weight for faster pushing, higher weight for really knowing you are pushing the key.
My preference is a medium weight tactile switch, preferably silent. I thought the heavy switched were too much for my taste. Light didn't have enough resistance.
The goldilocks zone of key cap weight!
