>I think most westerners are going to be partial to the western one as that's what we were raised to identify as dragons. Whereas the eastern one we tend to identify as a "Chinese dragon" and associate it with Chinese New Year parades and other things we have nothing directly to do with.
Yeah dragons from the east have a lot less influence in western media. Which I honestly think is a shame. Don't get me wrong I do prefer the western style dragon. However serpentine dragons, especially ones that can't fly have a unique charm to them. Then again I basically never watch western media because I simply prefer anime so I doubt it would make much of a difference to me.
