I prefer "cool white" or "daylight", at least for when I need general lighting. I find for the same lumens, it is brighter than warm white.
For stuff like Christmas lights or other "decorative" lighting or living room, etc then warm looks better.
I also have a theory, it's totally from a non medical background so no idea how accurate it is, but I think if you go with "daylight" it may even improve mood and help you be more productive. This theory is not really based on anything other than some research on depression when I went through it, and it talked about blue light helping seratonin levels. Daylight bulbs will have more blue in it. When I redo my office/lab lighting I might actually add blue LED strips too that I can switch separately. Probably going to go with T8 bulbs, I find LED fixtures a bit limiting as you can't really pick the color temperature. Ex: the fixture you like may not come in the color temperature you want. Most of the ones at Home Depot are warm white.
