Vulcans, Vulcans all the way.
It's a mixture of two things:
1 - You run into Earth trade vessels, or Klingon traders, and so on and so forth, but you never meet a non-science Vulcan ship. An entire planet whose thing seems to be science (and occasionally art and culture). These are so obviously my people.
2 - Emotions, or the downplaying of them. Partly because when I was wee and small and originally introduced to Vulcans I was still at the 'emotions difficult' stage, and their idea of 'minimise emotions' made so much more sense. Getting older I might have found slightly more useful ways of dealing with my anger than punching people, but I still think Surak has a point. That and, always beware people using pathos instead of logos in arguments, there you can find charlatans.
I swear it's part of the reason that I didn't like Enterprise. A lot of their non-T'Pol Vulcans were more illogical than Klingons.
People who point out that I look more like the shorter of the Duras sisters will be run through with a bat'leth.
