What Vision Mode Do You Prefer?

6 out of 7 players used thermal vision, 1 player used normal vision. Of course, that's hardly a good statistical measurement, but I am not going to die early in every match to gather more data (but when I do early, trust me, it's just because I am data gathering, I am not really that bad! Really!)
So, I decided, let's take a poll. It's not much more accurate maybe, but at least it may serve as a discussion - what vision mode do you prefer?
Personally, I prefer to use Normal Vision, because that's the most beautiful. Unfortunately, I begin to realize it's not the most effective - the mono-chromatic design of the maps tends to make this one of the modes where it is most easy to miss details. Thermal vision is much better.
Low-Light Vision seems subpar. Sometimes, the landscape seems to be better recognizable in low-light than in thermal, but usually it's still all so bad that thermal seems superior.
What are your experiences and preferences?

Additionally, thermal is just too good compared to night vision, even though night vision doesn't have that film grain on movement and allows for finer details, it's still "meh" to me.
Night Vision would have to have a much clearer visual effect and longer distance in order for me to want to use it, in addition to thermal vision getting it's range reduced.

People who use thermal 24/7 are stupid, because observing them, you can clearly see they can't brawl at all, because they can't see the mech's clearly enough to focus fire where it needs be.

Thermal vision to counter ECM jockeys.

Dunno why there is more of a lag shield/jumpiness

Seriously though, I'll use thermal to pick up ECM covered targets at range. But, unless I'm on the night vesion of Lake City, I cruise around with Mk 1 Eyeballs. In the prior, I use Thermal extensively until I'm in close and then I switch to NV for better detail. I'd use Thermal 24/7 on the night mode if it had more detail but I often can't tell which way the target is facing.

Thermal every time I can't use the standard view. Ever since they went away from the grayscale NV to the green/black NV it's been basically pointless, imo.
I tried to start a poll to get the closed beta version of NV back, but not many folks seemed to care. Even bumped it after we got a night map.
Makes me a sad panda.

Small sample, but it seems I'm not the only one who liked the closed beta version better.

Actually, I prefer using thermal on daytime maps as well for long range engagements (above 1000m gauss and ER PPC still do considerable damage and the AC2 is always annoying), and now with the ECM umbrella's, thermal vision is much more reliable detection than radar.
However, all of the above does NOT apply to caustic valley. Thermal on that map is simply useless.
