My preferences vary depending on who I'm playing against: a human or the AI. If it's against the AI, I usually choose Haven. Only an experienced player can resist their spells, and the dumb AI dies in droves with any numerical advantage. Two heroes against two hundred titans? Easy. To crush the meaty Barbarians, who have been gathering strength for two months? Just let me get started! :D
But against a human, especially an unfamiliar opponent, I most often choose Necropolis. It's difficult to understand the opponent's defense, so I gather Necromancers and go into battle! To attack forward and only forward - that's what Necropolis does remarkably well. Even without a hero who runs ahead.
...although, again, it all depends on the specifics - of course, I'll think carefully before putting Necropolis against Haven or Haven against Stronghold. And if you are familiar with the opponent's tactics in advance, even in general terms, then a simply fantastic variety of options appears.
