For me I prefer Light Novels but I also enjoy Manga... I don't like watching anime all that much though... I prefer to go at my own pace.

I'm with everyone else here, but leaned towards novel more than manga. It's due to their publishing time gap that my impatience starts to acting up

I would like to say anime because there's so much potential to make it beautiful but usually they drop the ball so I'll have to go with manga as a preference

Light novels for sure. Then whether I prefer manga or anime depends on how good the anime is. But in general it's probably the manga, both because things I like aren't adapted that frequently and I prefer having the more complete, intended characterization and story.

And interesting question, actually.
I normally prefer reading. Overall, I would say Manga is currently in the first place due to how easy it is to consume.
I also don't like anime for the most part.
BUT
I will concede that an anime with effort, care and time put into it will be superior to the rest.
It is just that almost never happens - so I can't put anime above novels or manga.

1. Anime most of the time, due to voice acting for the most part, and seeing them come to life
2. Manga because I can read at my own pace with beautiful art and then
3. Light Novels at last because those deserve 100% of your attention which can be tough considering my busy life

anime. Throw it on in the background and tune out while I do other things. That's how I write nowadays. I spend 5 minutes of an episode of anime actually watching. The rest, I stare blankly at the screen while my fingers dance over the keyboard.

Manga seems like the best to me, it's quick to read and has good detail in the drawings, animes force you to spend 20 minutes on the screen and they also tend to remove and modify content from the original material at will, light novels are better than anime but many get lost by rambling or giving unnecessary details.
