Generally, I'm not a huge fan of het ships - there are a lot I like but I think the only one to really hit OTP status (I have a lot of OTP's and I just consider an OTP my favorite pairing from that series) is Jacuzzi/Nice from Baccano! I really like, I guess, non-traditional dynamics? And it's relatively rare that I'll ship something canon unless it's really well done and really well written rather than something forced and thrown in there because obviously no character is complete without a romance, right? When it comes to m/f ships I really, really prefer close friendships and strong bonds that are like family. I think those kinds of relationships mean just as much as anything romantic.
I ship way more m/m and f/f because I suppose I can relate to those pairings more, being queer myself, and I definitely admit that I love blatant subtext. My OTP of OTP's is Alvin/Jude from Tales of Xillia - There are plenty of tropes that I love in shipping, and Alvin/Jude is an example of a ship that is pretty (really) messed up on an emotional level but there's so much hope and love there anyway, and there's so much headcanon to think about. I like characters who can help each other overcome strong obstacles.
Another thing about shipping is that I'm a terrible multishipper. It is so, so rare for me to ship a character with two (or more) different people because I get way too attached to pairing them with that one other person. I know so many people can multiship everything under the sun but I just... can't. NO, THESE TWO NEED TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER, NO ONE ELSE!!!!
