On me, I like a frost because 1) it lasts the longest of the normal lipsticks on me (i.e. not a pro-longwear) 2) It has shimmer 3) I don't have the dry lips problem with them like some people do or like mattes do on me 4) There are a wide range of colors.
I would say Lustre's are a close second though, but they fade on me pretty quick.

lustres, because they feel the nicest.
That, and my new favourite lipstick and PERFECT nude(finally found it!) is Jubilee... which is a lustre.


Edited to add: mattes = suck

Lustres. They just go on the best, don't settle into my lip-lines, and are the prettiest in my opinion.

Lustres because I prefer to play up my eyes, they go on the easiest and i love the sheer but glossy colour. I also like amplified because of the goooogeous creamy texture and rich colours.

2nd! Lustres have a pretty soft shimmer without being frosty, they are sheer but buildable, and don't dry out too easily. Glazes are moist looking and can be sheer but buildable.

Frosts are my favorite finish, as well, for every reason that you listed here already !

Lustres for day (man I lovelovelove so many of them!), but when I want a bolder lip, it's a tie between Frosts (I have loads) & Satins (I only have Rebel, but I love the texture - I wish they had more of "my" colors in Satin).

wow i guess i'm one of the minorities. i like satins and mattes just because i think they give off more color when applied.

frosts are my favorite! Amplified Cream's really make my lips look fat, but they don't come in alot of colors, so they lose points...but soon...

Amplified Creams...love them!! I know they don't come in a huge variety of colors, but they still are awesome IMO...they are so creamy and feel soft on my lips and the staying power is pretty good, too. They kinda "plump" the lips and make them look fuller. Blankety is my fav of the Amplified Creams...perfect nude.

My absolute fave are the Amplified Creams. I LOVE THAT FORMULA! Lustre comes in with a close 2nd. . .and eh, I have a few frosts, but they just don't do it for me. I wish all MAC l/s came in Amplified Cream or Lustres. well, maybe not. . .then I'd REALLY be broke.

Lustres and Amplified Creams. Frosts are too gritty for me and I don't like mattes.
I haven't really tried any of the satins.

amplified creams... ALL THE WAY!!! trust me ladies, if you haven't gotten one of these... GET ONE. especially if you're looking for a rich colored lipstick. they feel amazing on the lips and have such awesome color to them.

Frost and Amplified Creme...

Well almost everything EXCEPT Lustre! (They doesn't last and aren't enough pigmented)
