Definitely Red & Blue. They both have great writers who actually care about the characters they are writing, artists that don't bore me (omg not Lashley tho), and interesting story plots.
I'll continue to boycott Gold until Guggenheim leaves, Ink is brutally murdered, and Kitty divorces Piotr.
My pick ups will be Red and I will continue picking up Blue.
X-Men Blue to date has been a strange bird as being teen Jean's team, run how teen Jean wants with Lorna, Briar and Magneto in the background sort of being in their corner while some of their mentors goes behind their back and deals with problems in ways the 05 won't. Its been depicted as to use the writers terminology of classifications a straight laced hero team managed and trained by anti-heroes who aren't going to actually impose their will on how the team is run, but none of them including Polaris have been broadly happy with the level of effectiveness of the team.
Editorial isn't wrong that it matters what kind of X-Men team a character like Daken is on. Neither Kitty nor Jean got their first taste of leadership experience in their lives first trying to lead a band of 1960s radical and violent mutant followers of Magneto when he was out of commission and whose second stab at it was trying to control and keep in line the likes of Frenzy, Cortez along with an army of other Acolytes when again he was out of commission. The difference between Daken and someone like Cortez is Daken is more likely to try to stab you in the front not the back. Though I could see him going either way.

I've been liking Blue and the return of Jean Grey interests me somewhat, so I'll continue to get Blue and Red #1. Gold never really appealed to me, so still a no there. I never disliked the various Logan clones, so they don't really bother me. Of course, the only time I've read anything with Daken was Iceman #4, so we'll see there.
With 55 votes total, these are the combined results for each:
- 76.36% are Team RED
- 38.18% are Team BLUE
- 16.36% are Team GOLD
- 14.55% are Team NONE
Go RED!! But it looks like Gold & Blue, both got some work to do. ...
Waiting for the X-men Black announcement...or new Weapon X cast. Either way.
I don't know what it is, but X-Men Black is apparently not a new team.

Yes, thank you. Knew it had been niXed as an actual, new team, but am still interested to see what it really means. Hopefully it's more than just the Venom thing.
Not that it probably means all that much, but they referred to themselves as the Silver Team, in PR #2:
The Hate Machine Part 1
THE FIRST SENSATIONAL ARC OF AN ALL-NEW TEAM OF X-MEN STARTS HERE!
JEAN GREY is back! Returned to a world she doesn’t recognize, the First Lady of the X-MEN gathers an unlikely team — NIGHTCRAWLER, NAMOR and LAURA KINNEY (A.K.A. ALL-NEW WOLVERINE) — to face an evil that threatens to tear down XAVIER’s dream by any means necessary!
The Hate Machine Part 2
• JEAN GREY and her team must infiltrate a top-secret compound in order to save a mutant they’ve never met.
• They’ll have to avoid guards armed with guns, protestors armed with hate and sentinels armed with… well, slightly larger and more dangerous guns than the guards.
• All in a day’s work for the newest X-Men team.
The Hate Machine Part 3
• The battle rages in India, and the newest X-Men member may be the key to the team’s survival.
• GAMBIT is caught up the intensifying global frenzy of mutant hate.
• Plus: Could one of JEAN GREY’s oldest friends turn foe?
