I’m personally a fan of the beach farm
If people have seen my farms I love my open space and since the addition of ginger island (along with boredom of the same early gameplay loop every file), I don’t really touch crops that much, especially not on the mainland
I’m fine with a massive, open map that’s pleasing to the eye (so I can sacrifice on design of course)
I also like the standard farm for much the same reason, plus I’ve just been playing it for so long I naturally gravitate towards it on new farms.
I do like to use the other farms, I just will only use them in specific farms centered around them or a related thing. I made a wilderness farm for a massive some hutch farm, a riverland farm focused on fishing and fish ponds, etc.
I think I get the best of both worlds playing like that, enjoying my favourite farms for my main farms and having fun with the quirky ones for specific challenges which suit them.
