Default Which light spectrum do you prefer?

Aquarium lighting comes in different "colours" as most of us know. Some prefer the whiter colours as it looks prettier in our tanks. Others like the daylight colours.

Which light spectrum do you use? And what are the differences (if any) you see in the health of the flora and fauna when using lamps of different light spectrums?

My personal experience is that fish seems less comfortable with the whiter colours. They're always hiding under 8000K lights.
