I grew up on Joel but actually like Mike better. They definitely have different styles, and I think preferring one or the other is really a matter of taste, rather than quality. Joel is way cooler, but I enjoy Mike's self-deprecating style more. I ultimately ended up really liking Pearl, though I initially just found her annoying. All of the Mad sketches are, in my opinion, pretty hit-or-miss, regardless of which particular set of Mads it is.
As far as favorite old episodes go - I'm an eternal fan of Mitchell, Manos: the Hands of Fate, Monster a Go-Go, Space Mutiny, and The Final Sacrifice. Oh, and the Werewolf movie. They're pretty popular ones in general, really, and I do think they're all pretty delightful. Here, compilation of the running gag of stupid names from Space Mutiny:
I went to a live Rifftrax showing a few months ago, and that was a blast. I am genuinely glad that they're continuing with that, and I wish the team hadn't sort of split up into two groups (Rifftrax v. Cinematic Titanic), so that everyone was still working together.
