I can only speak for myself. At this stage, I'm not bound to any tradition. But I'm inclined towards Theravada (because of Ajahn Chah, that man is inspiring), and am a little bit weary and confused about brand new traditions that have come about very recently.

I have respect for Zen too, something about their style, that sometimes I personally feel the more institutionalised Theravada "authorities" can learn from (like the story about burning Buddha statues).
