What All Star format do you prefer?

It is right now All Star weekend in the NHL, and I decided to ask a question to some non-hockey fans.

It is about the All Star game and how teams are selected.

The NHL and the NBA are very similar in many ways, mainly playoff format, divisions and conferences.

But one large difference is the All Star Game.

Last year, the NHL decided to abandon the classic East-West format in favour of picking 2 team captains, holding a draft and having the captains pick teams. The players seemed to have a lot of fun, and they gave a car to Logan Couture (the player who was picked last).

So my question is:

What format of choosing All Star teams would you prefer the NBA use?

Do you prefer the classic East-West format that is currently used, or do you prefer captains picking sides?

    I think it would be cool if they picked teams. It would be more of a pick up game type feel. plus dudes like yao ming wouldn't start just because they own a large market.
