I like art, as in making a fort that is based on something. Such as a castle or a tower.

It's actually tough to say, for me. I'm still learning some aspects of the game, so I picked "Science", as I spend time figuring things out. In terms of the others:

Happiness - I definitely want my dwarves to be happy so that things actually get done. At first I only wanted the best for them and for them to not die, but I realized I get bored if there's too much peace, so I stopped caring so much about the dwarves themselves. I never thought to child-smash, for example, and that sounds like a great idea. I have 80 kids or something, now, and they're just not useful. I'd rather have 80 more migrants.

Efficiency - When I start the fort I try to make things efficient, but it always ends up devolving into a horribly unstructured mess. I put part of that to the fact that I'm still figuring the game out.

Violence / Military / Traps - The notion of more violence is tantalizing and I'm looking forward to it! Not a priority yet, right now.

Art / Constructions / Storytelling - not yet, but I love reading DF stories

Wealth - I like having wealth but it's not a priority

Challenge - I definitely get bored if I'm not challenged enough

I generally try to make good constructions, like a fortress that branches off a volcano (WIP), and if I'm telling a story, then something worthy of telling such (Bloodfist/axe).

Overall, I just try to build a good fort/vault.
