Ebberon and Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms! Oh my!

Getting ready to start up a new D&D campaign and I'm running into a problem that I imagine a lot of DM's run in to. And that is that I have no idea which setting I want to use. My first campaign was a custom setting and while that was fine as the world was pretty much 100% malleable, it becomes a lot of work, and PAPERwork to contain everything pertinent to the campaign. How about you folks, any of you Dungeons and Dragons players have a preferred campaign setting? If so, why?

    I prefer a setting the player defines, Allowing them to move freely through the world. Of course this requires a DM who can run a fluid campaign. Good luck with that!

    I have a special place in my heart for Greyhawk, being the first one I played. Nice beholder, btw.

    as a player I enjoy dungeons with lots of interesting trap mechanics. there's nothing like an ominous lever in the middle of a room, just waiting to get pulled.

    Never played D&D, but I look at a friend's Forgotten Realms books and looks really cool. All that maps, descriptions of regions, etc. Seems nice to me.
    Good luck, bro.

    I love Eberron. I own many Eberron splatbooks for 3.5 and 4th Edition. I find the Forgotten Realms a little bland, maybe because I haven't read that many books (Icewind Dale and The Dark Elf trilogies). Greyhawk is great, but there isn't too much information for 3.5 or 4th Edition, except for Living Greyhawk Gazzeteer. That's, like, 10 years without a Greyhawk splatbook? Not cool.

    Wish I could be of help, but this is not exactly my area of expertise. Interesting blog, though.

    Put the work into developing your own setting. I had a couple of friends who did this, it's really fun. Try it!

    When I played D&D, I was never the Dungeon master so I don't know anything about setting it all up >_<
