usually look for when it comes to presets in softsynths or hardware?

This differs alot from person to person so I thought I would check with everyone here. Some people prefer to program their own synth leads for example - while not caring if the bass or pads, etc are presets. Others always program their own pads or bass sounds while grabbing something from presets when it comes to synth leads..

So when you dig into your vsti´s or hardware synths and go through the presets - do you usually look for bass sounds? Synth leads/pads? Drum sounds?

Which (if any) are the most common categories you usually go through?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!
