I like vodka as much as the next gay, but I value smoothness, no burn. I also agree that if you mix it with anything then drink the cheapest you can find.
My preference, however is gin and I'm a Bombay guy. If it's good enough for the Queen of England, then darn it, it's good enough for me. Tasty botanicals. Don't, however, care for Bombay Sapphire--don't need the extra proof and it burns.
As long as I'm on my soap box, I like martinis. Asking for a vodka martini or a "hold the vermouth" martini are both oxymorons--just ask for gin or vodka on the rocks.
