Turn based RPGs all the way. However I like when they mix it up a bit. FFXIII, Resonance of Fate, Valkyrie Profile 2, Valkyria Chrinicles all have completely different turn based play but are still highly strategic and engaging.
Also I like grinding and random encounters and the fact that you can practically click away unwanted battles. In action RPGs you need your entire concentration for every battle which makes grinding or even progressing through weaker enemies a chore.

God forbid you need to stay focus during any fight. Lordy lordy lord.

If you fight hundreds of battles each of which lasts only a few seconds but you still need to keep up your skill and concentration and all that for minimal gain, Yes that is a chore and nowhere near fun. That's like working on a conveyor belt.

Action RPG don't require that much attention or concentration during those mininal encounters. Just like I spammed the X button to grind on FFXIII, the same can be done for those easy enemies on an action RPG. Not to mention that action RPGs tend to be more forgiving in grinding/leveling (Mass Effect, Fallout, Kingdom hearts) It's contradicting my original quote but that's how a lot of Action RPGs operate.
And a few seconds of fighting rarely require concentration, unless its some sort of weird, insta death, scenario.
