Combination of 4 and 6 for me. I'll generally support whoever is neither strangling the race, nor bringing a knife to a gunfight, and that's a group of riders that changes over time... but there are definitely riders within that group who I prefer, and there are also a few riders who I could never support regardless of their racing style.
I also have a thing for supporting top riders only once they are past their true prime, like Contador in the past or Nibali in recent years.
