I prefer tournaments & because of it I chose to put in a bunch of time studying that format. (but I play all kinds of stuff).
 
Note: tournament play can be real hellish.  It is normal to get busted out of tourneys  'regulary' going in as a huge favourite & have it happen in crucial moments (where the difference is between going on towards a good/great score or busting out getting a measely min.cash).  This can go on for literally HUNDREDS of tourneys (I am not exaggerating).  I could give you countless examples (as could anyone who's played a fair number of tournaments)... ie. down to final 20-30 players (or large field tourney) then get it allin pre vs. other bigstack on table & bustout when your KK < JJ (or whatever)... where holding & winning hand would have you be large chip leader & in great advantageous position making a run at final table 'or' busting out & winning a paltry amount.
 
If you're choosing to play tournaments, know that this will be the norm and be mentally prepared for it (it can be crushing!!!).   Thousands of tourneys later you will get used to it but it can still be difficult to accept.
 
I think part of why I prefer them is >  the possibility of taking down a decent score with minimal investment & the excitement of making a deep run.  I don't get that on cash tables.
