What difficulty mode do you usually start playing on?

If I'm new to the game, I pick the normal difficulty. After I beat it, I play easy, then hard.
If I know the series already, if I feel like it normally is too easy I start on hard. If I'm fine the way it is, I do either easy or normal, depending on if I want to get through the game quickly or actually want the challenge.
