Classical vs Naturalistic got my vote, although the others certainly cause a lot of controversy. My hackles raise when I hear comments that a bonsai is not a bonsai if it doesn’t conform to a particular style. To me bonsai is about artist presentation that best represents the species of tree, not whether or not it conforms to a particular style..
