I voted Equal for my C6th. As I move through different scales and harmonies pretty quickly sometimes, there is less stuff that sounds off in Equal than if I were to try it on JI. I used to do a hybrid JI, which has more beautiful sounds, but it quickly broke down, when not staying in the same scale and using all kinds of different harmonies.

Thanks
