Personal Lightsaber style and preference

Which of the Seven Lightsaber forms and what style lightsaber hilt would you use? Include blade color.

I'd go with what my OC uses, a saber with a hilt 4cm longer, and a blade being about 6cm longer as well. The hilt has a blade (metal), in front of the grip meant to be used as a sort of punching weapon. It would have a red blade.

Personally I'd go with Makassi for primary form due to it's reliance on quick strikes of opportunity with with Niman as secondary form for it's balanced approach. Both are energy conservative and favor precision over brute strength. Classic handle with vertical separate rubber grips for both comfort and grip retention. No decor but would have emitter guard of phrik. Red blade as the synthetic crystals are stronger.

I'd go with a green-bladed ROTS Obi-Wan style lightsaber with the Soresu form as it focuses on offense by defense. Let the opponent wear themselves out on your tough defense while you wait for the perfect moment to take them out.

style? a mix of 3,4,5 and 7 for max efficiency. Hilt would be like anakin's second one, with it about 6 cm long and 1 cm greater diameter. the front would be modified to have the off shoot blades, while the main blade would have 2 settings: 1, the main one, is a normal diameter, 1.15 meter long blade. the other, taking advantage of the longer/wider hilt, shuts off  the off shoots, and turns it more into a light club, increasing blade diameter by half a centimeters, and length to 1.65 meters. it would be a blue lightsaber
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

Form 7 is already a mix of all the previous styles, so mixing it with the others is pointless.
I personally would master form 2, but would use an unorthodox version of it. I would have 2 lighsabers. A purple one and a red one. The Purple being the primary, and the red one hidden.
They would both be single bladed lightsabers. You know, so that just when the enemy believes he defeated me, I pull out a new lightsaber, the color even confuses him for a second, and me, being myself would use the opportunity to strike out, then back to form 2 :D

 your mixing form VI with VII

for those who don't know, these are the forms:
  Form I: Basic
  Form II: very powerful. mostly skilled manoeuvring, dueling, and devastating out flanking of an opponent(could be wrong with this one, but oh well) Count Dooku uses this
  Form III: the defensive form. great when surrounded by enemies, works great with moving meditation, which heightens reflexes and awareness, as well sensing danger. Obi-Wan Kenobi's true style
  Form IV: the acrobatic form. uses lots of jumping and outmanoeuvring. has a weakness to blaster fire. note: both Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda are seen using this form, but both are so strong that blasters are nothing to them, even with this form.
  Form V: the stand and fight form. uses strong swings and deflecting blasts. great for cutting through droids, clones, stormtroopers, rebels, or even Sith and Jedi, as Anakin well demonstrates.
  Form VI: the mix. a mash-heap of forms 2,3,4, and 5. also known as the Counsellor's form, as it, besides Form I, is the easiest to learn. it is also the form used when wanting to use 2 lightsabers. while not conformed(unless i'm mistaken), it is assumed that Ahsoka Tano uses this in the Clone Wars
  Form VII: the dark form. the one that requires you to tape into the dark side, but is also best against the dark side. use harsh, strength filled attacks. also has some weakness to blaster fire. it is best to master another form to fall back on if Vaapad(Form VII) proves too much in battle. 2 jedi are known to use this, most notably, Mace Windu.(note, this form, in addition to Palpatine's plan, was what kept Mace alive so long)
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

I'd learn forms 3 & 7.  Lightsaber would have a purple blade, cause purple is good looking.  Normal hilt.

Form V for me, as the overall style is straightforward and devastating once mastered. While the lack of agility would be hampering...I honestly wouldn't mind given both its ability to counter against blasters with Shien and Djem So's focus on saber duels.

Hiltwise, I'd take an Anakin/Vader type, not too fancy but gets the adjustments to get the job done.

Form IV: Ataru for me, I would have a white lightsaber and would keep the aggression up to defeat my opponent as well as defend.
