For me It depends entirely on the game, not so much the battle system in itself. Personally, I love both styles. I'd say I like a bit more action based than turn based simply because it makes the overall game feel more fluid and developers can design a battle system that merges with the entire enviroment of the game . This is why western rpg's have become such a big hit. Turn based I love because it feels classic/traditional and I like that sensation in most jrpgs.
Whatever battle system it is, random encounters are what needs to go.
