Online I prefer 8 or 9 player tables because there is much less room to bluff in online games. This is based on the fact that people tend to play more loose and there are very few ways to read players online. Because of this I play tighter in online games than real ones. When playing tight a person should want more players seated because that increases the odds you will be payed off when you get a winning hand. In-person games I bluff a lot more, so I prefer 6 players since the range of good starting hands broadens with less players.

I honestly can't say that I have a preference, in general.
I adjust my strategy and opening ranges accordingly when there are fewer people in the hand. But whether or not I would prefer more or less players would depend a lot on the specific player types I would expect to be playing against.
That said, if I was playing higher stakes and trying to play as strict GTO as possible, I guess I would prefer full ring just for the sake of variance.

I think 6-handed is the best table size live and online for any kind of poker game. Lets you get to know your opponents a little better and hands move along faster.

Mostly full tables, as the game at short tables is faster and more aggressive, and I'm not very confident in poker yet.
But in the future, I would like to switch to a game at short tables, because I believe that skills such as aggression, bluff are better pumped

I love playing 9 player tables when cash is involved. The action is spread out like one would expect and the hands seem to play true in my overall experience. Plus, because of the mere blind structure you get to see more pre-flop hands for free. I guess I enjoy seeing the pre-flop odds as much as the turn and river. Fun, Fun for everyone!
