I actually like playing both, but I have a lot more profits on MTT, and sometimes cashgame becomes boring because players will fold fold fold waiting for premium hands, but if you tilt on cashgame and keep playing, you are dead, just stop the session after losing 3 or 4 buy ins because means you are not playing your A game.
Anyways cashgames are very good for pratice post flop skills, and more flexible than MTT because you can start and stop when you want and you can make your own breaks not only 5 min per hour.
The biggest differences between both, in my opinion are:
- Cashgames you will play almost always a lot of hands against the same opponents, much more than on MTT, where you will find a lot of different players and different styles and situations.
- Cashgames have much less variance than MTT, but when you win a MTT you gain a "big hit" and to win the same amount at cashgame you will have to spent hours, days and maybe weeks.
- At cashgames players have the stack approached and you are deep, so you can play post flop, on MTT you see players with 10x more chips than another ones, or even more. Then at late stages, the post flop sometimes is almost impossible.
There are two differents kind of play but both are Poker, so I try to mix my game, because after play a lot of cashgame, I feel my edge better post flop to face MTT, but if you make the inverse way (from MTT to cash) you gonna have troubles!

Cashgames at week days are full of regs and nits, more difficult to have a good winrate, except at 6pm et when peoples come from work/study and make the game "easier".
