None are pure climbers, though
I love punchers in real life, but I hate the hilly classics on PCM. Those steep hills have something wrong in the gameplay, I think. You drop back in the pack too easily and I just suck at them 
It depends on the race for me. I won MSR with Dan Martin thanks to a Poggio attack, but i can't for the life of me time an attack in properly in one of the Ardennes classics.

I've won all the Ardennes classics. The best way is to have two good punchers, one attacks then dot at 85 with 10k left. The other takes wheels in the group. One will probably win! |

Also fun: all-rounders, literally ALL-rounders who have at least 70 in all stats.
There are four, iirc: Sagan, Kwiatkowski, Hagen and Gallopin.
You can use them anywhere... |

I love the real climbers, the ones who can't TT for shit. It coincides with my favourite stages; long, massive uninterrupted straight climbs without any flats or dips in them.

Well, not a surprise, but pure climbers are the best for me, Im used to ride 20 or 30 km at 4.5 to 9.0% when I go out with my bike... and well, here in Colombia that's the most popular kind of rider... like Oliverio Rincón, Luis Herrera, but they really sucked at TT, maybe like Fabio Parra who was a complete rider, really strong in high mountain and decent TT...

I'm not sure why but I've always liked pure time trialists, I don't even find TT's fun to watch or that fun to play but I've always been fans of them and would much rather see them do well in TT's then stage racers.
apart from that I'd have to say pure climbers or climber/fighters, basically the guys that know the only chance they've got of winning is to attack from a little way out and try and hold off the favourites, e.g. De Gendt, Voeckler, Rolland.

All rounders. I have a young rider who is now 75+ in virtually everything, and I've managed to win every type of stage with him. Never boring to play. |

Besides Voeckler whom I like above all else, I really like really good climbers who can't TT and have to gain as much time in mountains as possible. |

Allrounders that can do TT. In some WT races the race starts with TT.Then you got a great place like top 10.Other stages will be easy for getting to GC.
