Also, which kind of RB is more fun? Powerback or Speed?

RB is a smarter choice because you aren't competing against 3 other WRs on the field and 5 other WRs on the depth chart, in addition to the defense, for catches. Kind makes me sad when our receivers each average about 2-3 catches and our two running backs each get that many catches in addition to the 5+ carries a game.
Until someone figures which stats to plug to get catches/drops to a reasonable level at WR, stick with a simple RB.

I agree. I'd go HB. If you are debating between power and speed, this is my opinion, but both. Develop a player that has both speed and strength. At the moment, power backs seem to have an edge but I've seen power backs that break 4 or 5 tackles but can't score because they get caught from behind. If you have a HB that can break tackles but still has the breakaway speed, you will get longer runs, but thats my opinion.

A RB is more fun to watch because they get more touches. If a challenge is more fun to you, then a WR is the way to go.

RB is more fun, but a WR will always get you a job on teams at every single level. You've got level 10 RB's who can't find jobs while level 7 WR's are playing the slot. Keep that in mind when you make a player.

RB is a lot more fun, but it is also harder to find a team as most carry 2 RBs but 4 or 5 WRs

I have recently soft capped strength now so my speed/agility/strength are all capped. Get me behind a decent line and I'll tell you if it's worth it!
