I love a good reel. I even love a crummy reel. I love feeling my fingers blaze across the strings, and to watch the dancers loop in their figure-eights.
But I think the jig idiom is integral to the Irish tradition, and permeates it. I think the lilt, the bum-pah-dum, bum-pah-dum, bum-pah-dum, is the most important part. So I voted jig. XD
