Leopard on iMac Aluminum 2.0ghz
Tiger on Ti Powerbook 867mhz
Jaguar on iMacs (the 15'' crt ones)
Leopard - MacBook
Panther - Pismo
Tiger - iBook G4
Each serve their own little purpose, though Tiger is my fave.
What makes you favor Tiger over Leopard?

Tiger is my fave, too. I use plenty of Leopard iMacs at work, and new Dock GUI is a bit too much, IMO. Especially since it's difficult to tell which apps are running. When I finally get a MBP, I'm modding the dock to get rid of that reflection and change the active app icon back to the little arrow
If I got Leopard, I'd be doing the same things as I do now on Tiger, except it would require more memory and processing power to do it. Might as well stick with Tiger. :^)
If you've got a desktop, you can vote based on the processor (Intel, G5/4, G3, etc). This is really for laptops, though.
Sorry, I was dancing around my apt.
I feel Tiger is more stable. Leopard, imo, is not finished, at first it operated like a Beta.
Ooof, yeah the Leopard dock.Tiger is my fave, too. I use plenty of Leopard iMacs at work, and new Dock GUI is a bit too much, IMO. Especially since it's difficult to tell which apps are running.

Love the way it looks, just not as functional as it could be.
Both, but you don't have a choice for that. I have Leopard on my pre-SR MB at home and my Alu iMac at work, but Tiger on everything else (C2D iMac + G5 iMac).
Leopard on an SR MacBook.
Leopard on a pre-SR MacBook.
Leopard on a 1.33GHz 12" PowerBook G4
Tiger on pre-SR MacBook Pro (wife's - she doesn't want me to change it)

I guess you won't be upgrading then.
I have Leopard on a 12" 1.5GHz PB. I loved Tiger because it was very stable but I really love Spaces, Time Machine (already saved me) and automatic networking in Finder. While, at times, it can run a bit slow on my system, it runs beautifully on my wife's MB.
