I agree that the love/hate rating thing is a bit silly. It's like trying to decide which shoes you should wear or what is the best food. Different things for different folks.
This thread caught my eye because when it comes to the price - None of the "Cookie Cutter Collection" suits me. Even the ones I own I would not find worth getting again at today's prices. I call them "cookie cutters" because they are EVERYWHERE. Love 'em or hate them, if you go to parties, tourneys or shows, you are going to end up playing them.
If you are looking to impress with your personal collection (a bad idea to begin with). Find games that are unique and cool.
That said, as far as "can't stand" goes... not sure if that is in my pinball vocabulary. I can find *some* fun in just about any game.
