You place conditions. So you can write all towns (both online and vs comp. at diff.) But I prefer to know who you choose in vs player game.

with no rules this is who i pick and why:

rampart: kyrre with log, if i cant then ivor(elves)
tower: i never play em but solmyr is decent
inferno: never play em at all, ever
dungeon: gunnar(log) if i cant him then alamar(resurection) or deemer
necro: aislin is alright so is thant but i rarely play em
fortress: tazar(armorer) is a popular choice but i go for alkin because of offense armorer and might gorgon specalty
stronghold: crag hack or dessa
conflux: monere is the best to me cause of log and offense

castle: caitlin, and beg for a better hero, castle heroes sucks
rampart: mephala or ivor. Ivor is a killer on small templatets. but as with castle heroes, rampart heroes tends to have problems getting earth and log, I would look for a better option
tower: neela or torosar
inferno: pyre if allowed, if not marius or the pit fiend hero. Demoniacs might be the best hero class in the game, I always look for them 
Necro: Galthran I think as main
Dungeon: Shakti or dace. Great heroes, vulnerable to curse
Stronghold: Crag, gurni, tyraxxor, gretchin, gundula, all great heroes, and many more
Fortress: taz, alkin, wystan +++ as stronghold loads of good heroes, although witches sucks

Thanks all that replied so far. Please write also if this is choose for online/hotseat or against computer games.
I'm asking, because as many of experienced onliner player stated they choose hero which gets logistics or earth as main. So I wonder if they choose starting hero with hoping to be it main, or because of some specialities that can help at begining. (Caitlin for Castle will probably not be my main, but I choose it because of extra gold I get from begining)

in most cases, the safest thing is to pick a hero you would like to use as main, but with in example castle, that aint possible, because all their heroes are useless on most maps. this may also often be true with rampart, depends on the template. If you play blockbuster, jebus, or worse, extreme, then a ranger wont be a safe choice.
You say what do you guys play? online or against cpu. There is no difference. What is best online, is best against cpu too. so, with hopes of not offending anyone, Magic heroes just isnt as good as might ones in almost all cases, so there

i am led to believe the last statement was directed at me and those like me. if so i have this to say. although i know might heroes are very strong, but i find that might isnt that far away. we had battles of might in the medieval times. but with magic, that is more fantasy than might would be and being a fantasy game i like to go for the most unrealistic thing which is magic. i could go and find a sword and kill someone but i cant go and cast dd and get to the movies in 1 sec. tis is why i like magic more than might and although u may still like might more, i find the game even more fun when im doing the impossible. i hope u now see why some ppl prefer magic even though they know a might hero would provide an easier and quicker game.

And nobody mentioned Orrin for castle. Even though there are only two shooters in castle, the bonus in ranged damage is noticeable. After all, marksmen shoot twice and it affects ballista as well. Of course Orrin can be even more useful for tower.

castle: I don't like the choices... My top 4 skill preferences are Tactics, Offense, Armor and Earth... Which leaves me with Edric, Tyris and Sorsha as my top choices for this town. I like the fact that Tyris starts off with tactics, but Edric seems to develop better in my experience... bah... it's all a crap shoot.
rampart: Mephala all the way. If I can find an armor spec hero in my tavern, I will buy 10x out of 10. If I already have an armor spec hero as a main, I will buy the other one to prevent my opponent from having one Ivor can be fun on small maps.
inferno: Marius or Nymus if I get stuck with this town (or better hero from other town in tavern)
dungeon: Shatki (tactics and offense) plus gets offered earth very often  Dace is also very nice (same reason as Shatki), especially if you have an external minotaur dwelling and portal of summoning Alamar is an awesome scout.. develop expert scholar and wisdom and teach everyone resurrect (& any other spell from hired heroes)
necro: Always banned in games I play. Galthran would by my choice here though. If by chance I play skell war, I harvest with Vido and Isra.
fortress: tazar(adv armor to start & armor spec). Would probably be my #1 choice no matter what castle I play.
stronghold: Crag hack, traxor, gundula, sometimes terek
conflux: Always banned in games I play. I like Lacus here... adv. tactics soon to be expert... can use faster ground troops to block shooter stacks
tower - neela (armor spec) Armor spec On side note, neela has scholar already, don't need to develop a scout to teach spells.
I may be off a little, but that is who I like
(Note: I left out log born heroes cuz opponents usually ban them anyways)

you guys should stop bashing magic heroes just cause you play large maps . A magic hero can be better than a might hero in certain situations, and what's with all the solymir bashing. On a medium template if he gets some spell power (not hard with the usual star axis, leveling and schools of magic on the map), he'll even be able to break through blocks faster (i'm not talking about blockbuster big block ok?) get more res experience, and then rape you week 2 early week 3.
Oh look a might hero with a full army. Oh look, a might hero with half the army.
yes yes i know later on might heroes will usually rape magic, a mass haste is all it takes. But still, even a weaker magic hero can be a pain in the butt against armourer heroes. I got tazzy with fortress in a game and I fought late week 3 early week 4. He was around lvl 20, with a huge army but I had no air magic - (he never got it  ). So my opponent comes on the field with half the army - castle, and starts imploding my units.
Play something different than the closed large maps, with huge block in between and opening to a treasure area and then talk smack about magic heroes. Ring template anyone? Meeting early week 2 with a 10 sp warlock with lightning or meteor/ressurect and you'll see just how tough might is.
