From what I've read a lot of folks use B+ and Golden Teacher strains on their first grow. Both will grow adequately on BRF/verm cakes.

yeah, but so will the 70 or so other 'strains.'
why keep telling noobs to try the same damn thing over and over?
why not get some variety for them? we all know they're all the same parameters and grow all the same, it's all the same species. I'm just tired of hearing B+ or GT all the time, it's pretty lame.
rant over, sorry.

beyond that, then, what strain gives the best effects, or is the most potent, what is your favorite strain to take or grow?

It was a little more of a productive response than directing someone new to the forums with a simple question to an 8 page sticky with not so many answers strewn throughout.

there's no answer really to your question. you're asking something like:
"what human race combination will produce me a genius super athlete nobel prize winner?" nobody can tell you.
they're all the same mushroom really, they're all the same species. just different races of the same species, that's all.
they all work almost exactly the same. there's as much variance in the spores of one spore print as there is in the spores from any two differing races.
so again, it doesn't matter.
some races were created in labs, not in nature, so they're a bit different in appearance and characteristics.
PE or PF Albino for instance.
out of the 80 or so strains, probably 70 of them are identical. their effects may vary, but there's no real proof to that.
pick a strain you've never heard of anyone trying before. why not? it won't be any worse than if you try the same thing everyone else is trying. that's my point.
so what is my favorite strain of cubes? Penis Envy.
why? it doesn't produce spores, or only produces trace amounts of spores. so it's not messy. that's all. I like the look of PF Albino too.
once you grow out 15 or so "different strains" of cubes, you'll know exactly what I mean and become jaded with growing them at all.

Use the strain thread for discussions of strains please. They all have the same growth parameters, so pick a name that sounds cool and buy it. Good luck. RR
