Why not try a few and report back. You'll probably be able to answer your own question then.

I just watched this video last night. I have been trying to decide what to focus on, so I was looking for info on which games suit which types of players.

Cash and tournaments are quite different beasts... In a cash table the blinds are static and usually no antes so other than leaking away blinds the pressure to play a hand is not as great as a tournament where eventually with the rising blinds and antes you are pressurized into playing hands.

On cash tables if you win a hand you are instantly rewarded and your bankroll increases !

In tournaments you can win many many hands and finish with zilch, because you lost a big one !

ShoTyme's suggestion is a great one...

In tournaments there are so many variations also that you will favour some over others
