Depends on wave motion if slip floating and current if I am drop shotting.

I prefer kip tail so far
Can't forget the squirrel tail for tails. It really does depend on the jig being tied but overall I use more marabou than anything.
I will say I like the way marabou looks, better,but hackle catches more for me.
Okay, can someone explain the advantages of a hackle tail jig? I have only tied maybe two ever, and just don't like how they look... BUT, I honestly have no idea how they fish.
Most often, I use marabou. Sometimes some bucktail or kiptail. Sometimes rabbit. It depends on what look I'm going for, and what species I'm tying for. I reaaally like rabbit for my short and chunky bluegill jigs, but for ice jigs, I prefer marabou because it's slimmer.
