fat

fat but I really like half yards.

it truly depends on what you like to make, if you like stars, 9P, etc that use mostly squares, then get fat...if you like strippy things, then go skinny

Frankly I follow Alex Anderson's rule of thumb, always buy 1/3 yard to allow for shrinkage and getting it square!

I do a lot of scrappy quilts, and I buy 1/4 yd. skinny cuts all the time. If a quilt shop charges more for a fat quarter than a 1/4 skinny cut, I'll just get the skinny cut.

1/4 yd. cuts are far more economical and ready to cut into strips. They also store nicely. Everyone seems to love Jelly rolls so you get a double at 1/2 the price.

Definitely FAT!

I would say skinny. I rarely ever cut a strip wider than 2 inches.
