Which will you pick for the land rush when the selection process begins? Myself, Land, I'm not crazy about waterfront properties unless they're in a city. The ones out in places like Estercove just seem so deserted of people.
I picked other only because I will will hopefully get an island which is more land than water. If that was not a choice, my choice would be land hands down because there is a wider variety of landscapes, houses and usable decorations.
Land. A: the waterfront property not in cities is all tropical, and i don't like it. Ravensmoor has forests and a nice shoreline, but i have no reason to believe that'll end up as a player town template. B: the lighthouse light can't be turned off.
Waterfront. Because it's the rarest and will be worth the most. I'm going to get the best waterfront lot I can find. Then I'm going to sell it to the highest bidder and go live in my player owned town.
Sadly I predict this as the fate of every water lot, long before my turn to place a house comes along.
If I can get a Duke island that's far from shore, I'll get that. If not, we'll have to see what's available. But I prefer water.
Gotta love that Duke waterfront house morphing from a house with a few rocks around the base to an island with the whole keep on it. Hoping we can implement that in our PoT.
